The Importance Of Being Ernest
(Oscar Wilde)
Oscar Wilde The Importance of Being Ernest This is the wittiest play I know. John Worthing lives in the country with his young-lady ward, Cecily Cardew, and her fussy teacher, Miss Prism. To escape, Ernest pretends to have a young profligate brother named Ernest who lives in London, frequently gets in trouble and needs him. When in London, Jack then uses the name Ernest. But then he falls in love, and one day also a friend in town discovers the identity of Cecily. With friend Algernon sneaking visits to Cecily, John and Algernon?s cousin secretly engaged, and Algernon?s mother (Gwendolyn?s mother) Aunt Augusta trying to maintain control and stop anything, and meanwhile all commenting on social status and manners, the play, especially if played dryly as if the actors find nothing at all funny about the script, can leave the audience shrieking with laughter
