England, 1895. Jack Worthing is a frightfully naughty man. His family in the country has no idea he goes for benders in the city under the alias of Ernest. Only his cad of a friend Algernon is privy to such information. And Algy has some duel-identity tactics of his own that he’s about to deploy to seduce Jack’s ward Cecily. It’s just not cricket, what, what? Class, manners and love come under the microscope in Oscar Wilde’s most famous play, which has been regularly performed ever since its opening 118 years ago.
