The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde


Amazon | Project Gutenberg

LADY BRACKNELL: To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

Jack Worthing has invented a fictional brother named Ernest, whose identity he adopts in town in order to live a double life, but comic chaos ensues when his friend Algernon decides to impersonate "Ernest" in order to meet Jack's young ward Cecily. Certainly one of the funniest plays ever written!
