SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:The Importance of Being Earnest\n\nBy Oscar Wilde\n\nOscar Wild
 e’s The Importance of Being Earnest is comedy with manners\, mischief an
 d absolutely no interest in behaving itself. Beneath the polished drawing 
 rooms\, elaborate lies and increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings is a 
 wickedly clever send-up of Victorian society and of the ways people have a
 lways used appearances to get what they want.\n\nJack Worthing and Algerno
 n Moncrieff have each invented alter egos to escape the obligations of res
 pectable society\, particularly when romance gets in the way. Add two dete
 rmined young women\, one formidable aunt\, a suspiciously important handba
 g and some of the most deliciously quotable dialogue in the English langua
 ge\, and the result is a comedy that has barely aged a day.\n\nWilde under
 stood that the best way to expose absurdity is often to make it very\, ver
 y funny. The Importance of Being Earnest is elegant\, ridiculous and glori
 ously smart\, offering an evening of laughter while sending up social conv
 entions that may look Victorian but remain surprisingly recognizable.\n\nC
 ome for the wit. Stay for the romance\, the ridiculousness and the sheer p
 leasure of watching a master comedian make fools of everyone\, including u
 s.\n\nMarch 18\, 19\, 20 @ 7:30pm\n\nMarch 20\, 21 @ 2:00pm\, 2027\n\nOrig
