The charming aesthete Esmé Amarinthe and his beautiful young acolyte Reggie Hastings live for art and artifice and reject all that is natural and "middle-class". When in the society of their peers, Esmé and Reggie elucidate and pontificate through endless epigrams and ironies that shock and entertain.But when a very real proposition of marriage to a wealthy widow enters the equation, Reggie wonders if he should go through with it, or continue his life of passionate paradox with Mr. Amarinthe.Robert Hichen's satire of Oscar Wilde is a romp that skewers the aesthetic ideals of the era while at the same time delighting in them.
