The Importance of Being Earnest

The Barrington Stage Company presents Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. This cleverly crafted critique of the pomp and manners of the Victorian English upper class chronicles the antics of a group of colorful characters as they negotiate a maze of mistaken identities, long lost brothers and frustrated romance. The Importance of Being Earnest brazenly pokes fun at aristocracy while creating some of the most memorable characters in the history of English theatre.
