PCPA presentsThe Importanceof Being Earnest..a trivial comedy for serious peopleBoth Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff must assume the name Earnest in order to win their loves hearts. For the ladies are certain they could never be happy married to a man who was named something other than Earnest. The Importance of Being Earnest plays August 15 - 24 in Santa Marias Marian Theatre and August 29 September 8 in the Solvang Festival Theater.The Importance of Being Earnest is a frothy comedy of manners and guarantees to be a delightful evening in the theatre. Wilde writes really terrific characters. Each one is vivid in their point of view and the way they use language. For a class of people who dont have many worries, they get to play - and they play with language. Its the idea of language as a playground, Director Roger DeLaurier explained.The characters have their foibles and theyre certainly self-interested, but they have a wonderful life-force. At its heart, Wilde is making fun of the society of which he was a part. He ridicules the hypocrisy of the class system and of the upper-middle classes, their ideas on morality, marriage, and gender relationships.
