The Importance Of Being Earnest
The Importance of Being Earnest is a farcical comedy set in late Victorian era London, in which the leading characters maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations. Two charming young ladies—sophisticated Gwendolen from the city and naive Cecily from the country—are in love with Ernest Worthing. But there is no such person as Ernest Worthing. Gwendolen thinks Jack is Ernest, and Cecily thinks Algy is Ernest. Each girl swears that she could never love a man who wasn’t named Ernest. In the midst of all this confusion comes Lady Bracknell, who doesn’t like the idea of anybody loving anybody. It sounds like a big mess, but Wilde unwinds this knotty affair into one of the favorite comedies of English literature.
Reviews for The Importance Of Being Earnest
The Importance Of Being Earnest
Eventide Theatre Company
This production excels. The cast — Maeve Moriarty, Keith Richard Chamberlain, Rick Sherburne, Daniel Powers, Joe Hackler, Dafydd Rees, Brynn Grambow, Hannah Reggio and Kathleen Larson Day — are perfect in their roles. But Rees steals the show. To tell you how would really be to spoil some great fun.
The Importance Of Being Earnest
Eventide Theatre Company
A unique group of nine actors do good justice to this lovely, maverick production, staying true to its classic Victorian setting of superficial obsessions, where style rules substance. These trivial pursuits, hilariously performed, showcase Wilde’s talent for sardonic wit and clever bon mots.
