"The Importance of Being Earnest" endures in popularity nearly 130 years after its' premiere as Oscar Wilde's most popular comedy.
It's the story of two bachelors, John "Jack" Worthing and Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff, who fantasize their ordinary lives with an alter ego named "Ernest". The two seek to win the affections of Gwendolyn and Cecily, who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. As Jack and Algy struggle to keep up with their own stories, they become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and hilarious misadventure.
This farcical comedy was written by Wilde to ridicule and poke fun of the elite social class of the Victorian era with some of the most beloved, albeit bizarre, characters found on the modern stage. Come see why this show is still relevant over 100 years later in a fresh and electric way!
