The Importance Of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde
April 4, 5, 6, 7 at 7:30 p.m.; April 8 at 2:00 p.m.
Harlen Adams Theatre
Oscar Wilde's brilliant play makes fun of the English upper classes with light-hearted satire and dazzling humor. The play focuses on Jack and Algernon, two young men in love with two young women both determined to marry someone named Earnest. This witty and buoyant comedy of manners is brilliantly plotted from its effervescent first act to its hilarious denouement. Widely considered Wilde’s most perfect work, the play is filled with some of theatre’s most famous epigrams, and Wilde's message - that what seems serious is frequently trivial, and vice versa - still rings true today.
