The Importance of Being Earnest
Everybody Loves Ernest… But Nobody's Quite Sure Who He Really Is.
What It’s About
Two young gentlemen living in 1890s England use the same pseudonym ('Ernest') on the sly, which is fine until they both fall in love with women using that name, which leads to a comedy of mistaken identities.
Directed by Oliver Parker
