This glorious comedy of manners was the most popular play by the quintessential bad boy of his day. Join young suitors Algernon, Jack, Cecily and Gwendolyn as they negotiate mislaid babies, mistaken identities, secret engagements, baffled suitors, one overbearing mother and some of the wittiest wordplay ever tossed over afternoon tea. Its 1895 premiere in London offered a stinging critique of love, sex, and hypocrisy that remains relevant today. Featuring guest artists Barbara Chisholm, Robert Faires and Irene White. Smart. Silly. Wicked fun.
- Oscar Wilde
