[[The Importance of Being Ernest]] – Is a Victorian Farce, in which a man takes on two separate identities, a serious one named Jack (his real name) for the benefit of his ward, and a rascal named Ernest for the woman he is courting, Gwendolyn. Unfortunately the woman is in love with him partially because she loves the name “Ernest.” When Ernest and Jack must appear together, Jack’s friend and Gwendolyn’s cousin, Algernon is roped into playing the role, and Jack’s Ward Cesily falls in love with the other “Ernest.” The two young women of course think that they are in love with the same man.
