The Importance of Being Earnestg Earnest 

Written by Oscar Wilde
Directed by John Ribovich
Performed April 26 - May 19, 2001

The Nineteenth Century loved comic melodrama and stories of dual personality. Oscar Wilde found a way to combine both in this comic masterpiece. An awful lot of Englishmen of the time, Wilde included, were "Jack in the country and Earnest in town." Wilde found a way to poke fun at these deceptions while producing a play that is whimsical without being trivial, hilarious without being cruel.

• The plot, Oscar Wilde, and its famous opening night
• The actual script.
