The Importance of Being Earnest - Auditions

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a delightful comedy of manners that gleefully skewers Victorian social conventions and highlights the absurdities of high society. Set in London, the play follows two charming bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who have invented fictitious personas—“Ernest” and “Bunbury”—to escape societal obligations and indulge in mischievous adventures.



Jack uses the name "Ernest" when visiting the city to court Gwendolen Fairfax, who adores him, partly because of his “sincere” name. Meanwhile, Algernon discovers Jack's secret identity and decides to take on the "Ernest" persona himself to woo Jack’s young ward, Cecily Cardew. This tangled web of mistaken identities, coupled with Wilde’s razor-sharp wit, leads to hilarious consequences as the characters navigate love, identity, and the importance (or lack thereof) of being "earnest."
