Details
Wilde’s most beloved comedy gets a delightful twist in this clever, fast-paced production of The Importance of Being Earnest. When two charming young men each adopt the name "Ernest" to escape their social obligations, they find themselves tangled in a web of mistaken identities, romantic mishaps, and outrageous revelations. Add in two strong-willed young women, a cucumber sandwich or two, and the formidable Lady Bracknell, and you've got a recipe for scandalous fun. This version keeps Wilde’s razor-sharp wit intact while reimagining the world of Victorian manners with a bold, modern flair. Expect elegance, absurdity, and a few surprises along the way. Earnest has never been this much fun.
