The Importance of Being Earnest

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a sparkling comedy of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and society’s most ridiculous rules.

When two charming gentlemen invent fictional alter egos to escape their obligations, their carefully constructed lies collide with love, propriety, and the indomitable Lady Bracknell. What follows is one of theatre’s most celebrated comedies—fast, elegant, and relentlessly funny.

This production embraces Wilde’s razor-sharp language and playful absurdity, delivering a night of classic comedy that feels both timeless and delightfully fresh. Whether you’re new to Wilde or a devoted fan, Earnest promises laughter, charm, and theatrical joy.
