Wagon Wheel Theatre to Present IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 8/4-8/14
The Wagon Wheel Theatre of Warsaw, Indiana is presenting Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST from August 4 to 14.
This Victorian comedy, subtitled "A trivial comedy for serious people", is full of wit and deception -- as fresh today as when it first appeared on the British stage in 1895. Two pretty girls have fallen in love with men who both claim the name of Ernest. These young bachelors are actually best friends and, unknown to the other, each has created a double life for himself to escape unpleasant social obligations. In this parody of life in the upper-class, they go to outrageous lengths to woo their ladies and then discover past events that could cloud their future.
Perhaps the reason THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST has endured is that it continues to make us laugh 110 years after it first appeared. Wilde's hilarious romance is considered by some to be one of the best stage comedies ever, and it is produced with regularity in college and regional theaters.
