The Importance of Being Earnest, according to press notes, "focuses on Jack and Algernon, two flippant young men, who, in order to impress their respected beloveds, pretend that their names are 'Ernest,' which both young ladies believe confers magical qualities on the possessor."
Tickets, priced at $80, are available by visiting www.resonanceensemble.org. Theatre Row is located in Manhattan at 410 West 42nd Street.
