"Ernest in Love" is a play by Anne Croswell and Lee Pockriss. It is a musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's famous comedy "The Importance of Being Earnest." The plot follows two bachelors, John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who each create a fictional character named Ernest to avoid the responsibilities of their real lives. However, their lies soon catch up with them when they both fall in love with women who are only attracted to men named Ernest. The play includes many of the beloved characters and witty dialogue from Wilde's original work, set to a playful and catchy score. "Ernest in Love" premiered off-Broadway in 1960 and has been produced frequently in regional theaters and community theaters ever since.
