About the event
The Importance of Being Earnest is a classical comedy centered around two men who can't truly be earnest for the life of them. In an effort to escape their responsibilities, they both find themselves too tangled up in their own alter egos, and falling in love all the while with women who insist on marrying a man named Ernest. Will their true identies be revealed? Will the women recover from this betrayal? Oscar Wilde invites us to earnestly enjoy this witty and satirical comedy of manners.
