      Oscar Wilde’s hilarious classic takes centre stage as two friends, lost in love, navigate a series of entirely avoidable misadventures. 

      Meet Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, two close friends who have one solution to all of their problems—lying!  
       
      Both lead double lives: Jack uses the fake persona of 'Ernest' to escape his responsibilities, while Algernon invents an imaginary friend to dodge social obligations. But when both men fall in love with eligible ladies, they must untangle a web of lies, misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and hilarious situations to win their hearts. Will they be able to keep up the ruse?
