by Oscar Wilde
"I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy"
A witty and satirical play written by Oscar Wilde. Set in the late Victorian era, revolving around the lives of two young men, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create fictional alter egos to escape the constraints of their social obligations.
Playfully challenging the values of the upper class and offering a humorous commentary on the absurdities of the time, Jack and Algernon reveal the consequences of living in a world where appearances often triumph over genuine character.
