THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's Victorian masterpiece about marriage, morality, and mistaken identity sparkles with dazzling wordplay and unlikely situations. This “trivial comedy for serious people” features two gentlemen, Jack and Algernon, each with a carefully hidden double life that comically leads to confusion and hijinks. When Algernon discovers Jack has been posing as a man named Ernest to escape from his “excessively boring” life in the country, Algernon promptly travels from his London flat to Jack’s country estate to pose as the fictional figure himself! Confusion and hilarity reign as each man meets and falls in love with a proper young lady and along the way must confront the formidable Lady Bracknell all in the name of romance and revelry. This delightful and scathingly clever classic will be as beautiful to look at as it is amusing, sure to delight the eyes with its period costumes and gorgeous set.
