THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
adapted from Ferenc Molnรกrโ€™s "Play at the Castle"
directed by Mark Shanahan
October 28 โ€“ November 15, 2025

Oscar Wildeโ€™s most famous comedy comes to the Playhouse for the first time!

Mistaken identities, secret engagements, a lost handbag, and one very formidable aunt set the stage for this classic, fast-paced, delightfully ridiculous romp through Victorian society. Two wildly eligible bachelors bend the truth in their pursuit of love, only to land in a web of hilarious complications (and far too many cucumber sandwiches). Full of razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life characters, this sparkling satire gleefully skewers love, marriage, and high society. Wildeโ€™s gift for language and outrageous humor is on full display in this joyously theatrical masterpiece. Join us this fall โ€“ and get Wilde at the Playhouse!
