The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, directed by Peter Bloedel.
Synopsis: In 1890s London, two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. The pair attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest.
