The Importance of Being Earnest

Two actors. A houseful of characters. One very important handbag.

Jack and Algernon have each invented a way to escape the demands of polite society. Unfortunately, their inventions lead them into proposals, quarrels and a great deal of trouble with Lady Bracknell. And both Gwendolen and Cecily are quite certain about the name of the man they intend to marry.

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest comes to life in a playful two-actor adaptation full of sharp wit, quick transformations and romantic chaos. Join us outdoors in the courtyard at Fairfield House for a summer evening of comedy. Food trucks will be available if you’d like to make dinner part of the outing.
