The Importance of Being Earnest
A trivial comedy for serious people.
Wit, romance, and mistaken identities take center stage in Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest. First performed by Theatreworks in 2006, this fast-paced farce of manners and mischief celebrates the company’s long-standing delight in sharp humor and linguistic brilliance. Get ready for cucumber sandwiches, secret engagements, and Wilde’s most famous epigrams in a production brimming with style and charm.
