The Importance of Being Earnest

Oscar Wilde’s most famous and enduring play uses farce, satire, words and wit to delight us with the ridiculousness of the Victorian upper class. With romance, false identities, a mystery and some of the most recognizable lines in the theatre canon, Wilde’s play continues to relate to our contemporary society where “fake” and “true” (earnest) are constantly called into question.
