The Importance of Being Earnest, written by Oscar Wilde and first performed on February 14, 1895, is a witty farcical comedy set in Victorian London and the Hertfordshire countryside. The play follows two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who lead double lives under the invented persona of "Ernest" to escape social obligations. Through clever dialogue and absurd situations, Wilde satirizes the rigid manners, romantic conventions, and superficiality of the Victorian upper class. The play features memorable characters such as Lady Augusta Bracknell, Gwendolen Fairfax, Cecily Cardew, and Miss Prism, all of whom contribute to the comedy of mistaken identities, social hypocrisy, and romantic entanglements. Renowned for its sparkling wit, social commentary, and timeless humor, it remains one of Wilde's most beloved and frequently performed works.
