The Importance of Being Earnest
May 10 - 19 at 7:30pm
May 20 at 2pm
The Importance of Being Earnest, Wilde’s classic high-farce comedy written in 1895, is ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People’. It is a story where the main protagonists maintain fictitious personae, allowing them to escape from burdensome social and personal obligations, whilst finding unexpected love. Reflecting, and at the same time undermining and trivializing, the social conventions of late Victorian British society – with themes that resonate down the ages – Wilde’s story is full of wit, intricate wordplay and handbags; showing the playwright at the height of his brilliant career.
