The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, runs August 14 through September 12, 2026 at The Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Two young bachelors invent alter egos to escape their social obligations, only to have their romantic schemes hilariously unravel. Overflowing with sharp wit and outrageous twists, the play proves that the truth is rarely as entertaining as a good lie.
