The Importance of Being Earnest
8/25/2008

A superb cast brings Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners to life in this hilarious look at fun, games and dubious ethics among the British upper crust.  
Algernon Moncrieff is a slightly shady, but charming gentleman from a wealthy family who has a bad habit of throwing his money away. Algernon has a close friend named Jack Worthing, a self made man who acts as a ward to his cousin, a beautiful young lady named Cecily. 
Algernon has created an alter ego to help him get out of tight spots brought on by his financial improprieties, and when he learns that Jack has created a false identity of his own - Earnest, a brother living in London whose exploits have earned him no small amount of notoriety - Algernon arrives for a weekend visit in the country, posing as the mysterious Earnest. 
Having heard of Earnest's misadventures many times over the years, Cecily had developed something of an infatuation with the lovable rogue, and Algernon's impersonation of him works no small degree of magic on Cecily. 
Meanwhile, Algernon's cousin, Gwendolyn, arrives for the weekend, and is startled to discover Jack is also there - except that she knows him as bad-boy Earnest. 
So just who is in love with whom? How will Lady Bracknell handle the matter od her daughter Gwendolyn's suitors? And what's the truth about Jack's mystererious heritage?
