THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST: a comedy for "serious" people
Written by Oscar Wilde / Adapted by Storyteller Theatre
July 12th-14th at Southmoore Performing Arts Center Auditorium, 2901 S. Santa Fe Ave., Moore, Oklahoma
Tickets: $15 - Rated PG-13 (Strong sexual themes and some language)
The Importance of Being Earnest endures in popularity nearly 130 years after its' premiere as Oscar Wilde's most popular comedy. It's the story of two bachelors, John "Jack" Worthing and Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff, who fantasize their ordinary lives with an alter ego named "Ernest". The two seek to win the affections of Gwendolyn and Cecily, who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. As Jack and Algy struggle to keep up with their own stories, they become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and hilarious misadventure. This farcical comedy was written by Wilde to ridicule and poke fun of the elite social class of the Victorian era with some of the most beloved, albeit bizarre, characters found on the modern stage.
