About the event

The Importance of Being Earnest
Step into a world where wit is currency, manners are weapons, and nothing is quite as “earnest” as it seems.

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a sparkling comedy of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and deliciously absurd social conventions.

Two charming bachelors — Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff — have each invented a fictitious persona to escape tedious obligations. But when both assume the name Ernest in pursuit of love, their tangled lies set off a chain of hilarious misunderstandings.

Two determined young women — Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew — are convinced they can only marry a man named Ernest. Add in the formidable Lady Bracknell, a misplaced baby in a handbag, and Wilde’s razor sharp dialogue, and you have a recipe for theatrical bliss.
