A tale of mistaken identities, lovers' entanglements, rapid fire wit, cucumber sandwiches, and the most famous handbag in theatrical history.

Metro Theatre presents The Importance of Being Earnest, written by Oscar Wilde and directed by Joan Bryans
The title of the comedy is a play on words, with the two men deceiving those around them by using the name Ernest, while the word "earnest" means both serious and sincere. The play is anything but serious, and the characters are anything but sincere in their names.
"A tale of mistaken identities, lovers' entanglements, rapid fire wit, cucumber sandwiches, and the most famous handbag in theatrical history. "Joan Bryans, Director.
