&quotThe truth is rarely pure and never simple...&quotIn this farcical comedic play, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, the characters must maintain fictitious personas to escape burdensome social obligations. It was first performed in London on February 14th 1895 at St James's Theatre and has seen many revivals since!John Worthing, a carefree young gentleman, creates an imaginary brother, &quotErnest,&quot whose evil ways provide John with an excuse to leave his rural home and travel to London, where he stays with his close friend and confidant, Algernon Moncrieff. During his London visits, John, posing as Ernest, has won Gwendolen's heart. But when he begs Lady Bracknell for Gwendolen's hand, he discovers he must explain the truth about his past.Sneak Peek:Twenty-eight years ago, Prism, you left Lord Bracknell&#8217s house, Number 104, Upper Grosvenor Street, in charge of a perambulator that contained a baby of the male sex. You never returned. A few weeks later, through the elaborate investigations of the Metropolitan police, the perambulator was discovered at midnight, standing by itself in a remote corner of Bayswater. It contained the manuscript of a three-volume novel of more than usually revolting sentimentality.[Miss Prism starts in involuntary indignation.]But the baby was not there! [Everyone looks at Miss Prism.]Prism! Where is that baby?[A pause.]Title DetailsOriginal 1895 TextLarge, easy-to-read print throughout5.5 x 8.5 InchesMatte CoverWhite Paper
