A satirical story set in 1895

London follows the upper class
games of two friendly enemies,
John Worthing and Algernon
Moncrieff. The two men set out
to win over the hearts of two
beautiful women, Gwendolyn
Fairfax and Cecily Cardew.
Because of their intense rivalry,
each used the same alias in
attempt to outwit the other. Both
will do whatever it takes to get
what they want, leading the men
to truly understand the
importance of being earnest.
