The Importance of Being Earnest

A brilliant comedy of manners celebrated for its impeccable wit and exceptional one-liners. When two charming bachelors invent double lives to escape social obligations, their harmless lies spiral into a web of mistaken identities, romantic complications and one very inconvenient handbag. This timeless satire skewers Victorian society and the absurdities of love, marriage and social convention, delivering laugh-out-loud moments that remain as fresh and entertaining today as when it premiered.
