Mistaken identities, double lives, and witty dialogue come together in this high farce. Jack and Algernon are two young gentlemen who maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations. Complications and comedy both arise when they must reconcile their alter egos with the women they intend to marry, Gwendolen and Cecily. Subtitled “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” this satire of Victorian society is Oscar Wilde’s most enduringly popular play and one of the funniest in the English language.
