Worthing and Algernon Montcrief have taken to bending the truth
in order to put some excitement into their lives. Both take
on the name Ernest in order to win the hearts of their respective
loves, Gwendolen and Cecily, two young ladies who are certain
they could never be happy married to a man who was named something
other than Ernest. When they all come together, we have two
men who claim to be "Ernest," and two girls in love
with men named "Ernest" who aren't earnest. A delightful
and light-hearted romp through the parlors and parlance of English
society filled with dazzling humor and wit.
