The Importance of Being Earnest.

Episode one.

Algernon Moncrieff, a wealthy young man from the upper classes of society, is passing his time playing the piano in his luxurious flat in central London.

He's waiting for his aunt and cousin to come to tea.

Algernon is a well-dressed and pleasant-looking man.

His servant, Lane, is busy preparing the table.

Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?

I thought it would be rude to listen, sir.
