Oscar Wilde's long-beloved play is a masterpiece about the silliness of class, propriety, and image. Jack Worthing wants to marry Gwendolen, but his pedigree is lacking—mostly because he doesn't actually know who his parents are, given that he was found in a handbag as a baby. Complicating things is the fact that Jack has assumed a false identity as the more desirable "Ernest," and not even Gwendolen knows the truth. All becomes unraveled before the inevitably unlikely and goofy happy ending.
