THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
November 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 2008
Universally regarded as Oscar Wilde’s finest play, The Importance of Being Earnest employs every device known to farce — mistaken identities, ill-timed arrivals, and frustrated young lovers to name a few. Wilde’s delectable wordplay is at the forefront of his sublime “trivial comedy for serious people.” The play is a rollicking romp in the English countryside that will keep the audience delighted and amused from start to finish.
