NSU Theatre presents "The Importance of Being Earnest"

The curtain opens on the flat of wealthy Algernon Moncrieff in London's fashionable West End.  While Algernon (Algy, for short) plays the piano, his servant (Lane) is arranging cucumber sandwiches for the impending arrival of Algernon's aunt (Lady Bracknell) and her daughter (Gwendolen).  Mr. Jack Worthing (a friend of Moncrieff's and known to him as Ernest) arrives first.  Jack announces that he plans to propose marriage to Gwendolen, but Algernon claims that he will not consent to their marriage until Jack explains why he is known as Ernest and why he has a cigarette case with a questionable inscription form a mysterious lady.
