Written by Oscar Wilde\, the play exposes the absurdity of Victorian norms when two gentlemen lead double lives for the sake of living and loving their way. Their comic ruse provokes hilarious difficulties for themselves and their ladies\, deftly delivered with Wilde's classic wit and charm.\n\n \n\nIn short\, Jack is in love with Gwendolyn who thinks his name is Earnest. Jack is trying to keep his ward Cecily\, who lives at his country estate\, away from his best friend Algernon. Jack tells Cecily that his frequent trips to London are to visit with his friend Earnest. Algernon is determined to find out who Jack is hiding in the country and sneaks off to the estate where he introduces himself to Cecily as Earnest. Gwendolyn suspects a rival in the country and promptly sneaks away unchaperoned to visit her Earnest in the country. The two young women think they are in love with the same Earnest. The only person who really knows who Earnest is\, but does not know she knows\, is Cecily's governess. The confusion of mistaken identity\, hidden secrets\, and the pursuit of love are masterfully brought to a most delightful conclusion that still surprises audiences today. \n\n \n\nJack is played by Siddharth Kumar\, recently seen on the WP stage in Clue.
