Produced for the first time ever on the S&C stage, Wilde’s witty, satirical lark through parlors and gardens of Victorian England highlights the wonderful understatement, “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” Two bachelors, Jack and Algernon, create alter egos named Ernest in order to escape their tedious London obligations. The two men woo two charming ingénues, who both fall madly in love – each woman with her own Ernest. The story is complete with the ritual of Afternoon Tea, and of course, the impressive and inimitable Lady Bracknell, who is the unforgettable and domineering voice of Victorian propriety. Through a number of silly twists and turns, status is achieved, true love and even truer identities are revealed, and we all learn the “vital Importance of Being Earnest.”
