The Importance of Being Earnest

In this comedy Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing live in Victorian England. Worthing resides in the country and travels to London every now and then for pleasure. Every time he does so, he tells those around him that he is taking care of his irresponsible brother Ernst. But it is he who pretends to be Ernst in London in order to pursue his pleasure undetected. Moncrieff is a London aristocrat who from time to time escapes from London society by pretending to visit his sick friend Bunbury in the country, who, however, is also an invention.
