The Importance of Being Earnest
Wilde's Enchanting Masterwork
May 9 - Jun 7, 2008By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Spiro Veloudos
This stylish comedy of manners is the story of assumed names, mistaken lovers, and preposterous enchantment. This delightfully witty and light-hearted romp through Victorian society follows two young bachelors pretending to be earnest - and Ernest - as they aim to win their ladies' hearts. Filled with some of the most famous quips ever written for the stage, come "treat all things trivial seriously and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality!"
