Ever wish you could take a break from the responsibility of being you? Wilde’s two charming bachelors each enjoy a double life, running away from their societal duties and towards another glass of bubbly. But when they fall truly in love with two proper young ladies, keeping up appearances may be more than they can manage. Who will get to be “Ernest” and who will get stuck being earnest?
- Oscar Wilde
