The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Becky Potter
Production Dates: May 2 - 18
The central story revolves around friends Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, both young men of the city and country scene and both with secrets. Jack is in love with Algernon’s cousin, Gwendolen, but Gwendolen only knows him as Ernest. Algernon falls in love with Jack’s young ward, Cecily, who assumes he is Jack’s invented brother, Ernest. Both young ladies are infatuated with the idea of loving a man by that name. To complicate matters Gwendolen’s overbearing mother, Lady Bracknell, has only the highest standards for her daughter, and a deep dark secret kept by Cecily’s governess, Miss Prism, jeopardizes the happiness of all. Cucumber sandwiches, a vicious tea, salacious diaries, and a handbag create a comedy of manners held up as one of the most beloved plays of all time.
