What is The Importance of Being Earnest about? Toggle content

In this hilarious and romantic comedy of errors, two young men in 1890s England use the same pseudonym, Ernest, to escape their mundane lives and pursue their respective love interests. However, things take a turn for the absurd when they find themselves face-to-face and must navigate a tangled web of mistaken identities, all while trying to win the hearts of the women they love. Featuring an all-star cast, including Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Frances O'Connor, Reese Witherspoon, Judi Dench, and more, this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic play is a witty and entertaining romp through the absurdities of high society.
