This scene finds our impossibly sarcastic and stubborn characters at the height of their
tangled web of lies, mistaken identities, and subsequent confrontation. Gwendolen, played by Casey Brantley, and Cecily, played by Megan Moore, have just discovered that each of them are engaged to individuals they both believe to be named Ernest. Their argument comes to a head, and when Jack, played by Logan Mills, and Algernon, played by Kaytlyn Meyer, enter the scene, all is uncovered. What wonderful Bunburying!
