Quizzed as to his origins by her aunt Lady Bracknell, Jack has to admit to being found in a handbag. After further complications involving Jack's friend Algernon, who is also passing himself off as Earnest, Jack's true origins are revealed.

This edition in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series includes an introduction by Dan Rebellato.
