The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Presented at The History Museum's Historic Oliver Gardens
*This production will be presented in an outdoor setting*
This “Trivial Comedy for Serious People”, by Oscar Wilde, is part satire, part comedy of manners, and part intellectual farce.
What happens when two grand bachelors take on the name Ernest in order to woo the ladies they love… who insist on finding husbands with that name?
Join us to discover the importance of being earnest while living in the age of ideals!
