The Importance of Being Earnest

Get ready for love, lies and laughter in Oscar Wilde’s famous piece!

The Importance of Being Earnest 
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People

directed by Sophie Cretaine & Maitreyee Sevekari
produced by Kevin Krykon & Marie Toffolo

 
About the play

The story follows two friends, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who both create fake identities to escape their social responsibilities and enjoy some freedom. Jack pretends to have a troublesome brother named Ernest, while Algernon invents a sick friend named Bunbury. But things get complicated when both men find themselves entangled with two women, Gwendolen and Cecily, who are both in love with the name Ernest – not the men themselves. Add in the stern Lady Bracknell, the unusual Miss Prism, the kind Dr. Chasuble, a misplaced handbag and Wilde’s quick wit, and you have a recipe for non-stop hilarity and unexpected twists. This timeless comedy of manners is packed with clever humor and outrageous situations that will keep you laughing until the final curtain!
