This celebrated Oscar Wilde classic follows the romantic misadventures of a pair of English cads who devise a double life in order to impress the strong-willed women whose hearts they hope to win. But when it is revealed that both friends are not entirely who they appear to be, a madcap comedy of teatime pitfalls, unexpected antics, and hilarious revelations ensues. Wilde’s delicious confection dazzles with ironic wit, comic invention, razor-sharp subtlety, and bold servings of characters who all discover the importance of being earnest.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Plays City Theatre Austin June 3 - 18
May 17, 2023 The City Theatre Company begins its summer 2023 season with Oscar Wilde's delightful satire The Importance of Being Earnest. Quick-tongued, lively, fast-paced Wilde at his best, it is a merry-go-round of mistaken identity, sparkling wit, and daring humor at every turn brought to new life with panache from CTC's guest director, Karen Sneed. The show runs June 3 - 18 at Genesis Creative CollectiveAbout the Theatre
