This is the classic story of Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthington, the women enamoured of them (after a fashion), the very proper Lady Bracknell, handbags, babies, and Charing Cross Station. When each of the men try to pass themselves off as Ernest in their attempts to win over the women of their dreams, confusion and hilarity reign.
Now rendered as a novel by Charles Osborne and introduced by Barry Humphries, The Importance of Being Earnest will delight, charm, and amuse longtime aficionados and new readers alike.
