The Importance of Being Earnest

Presented by The Dryden Society

Michaelmas 2012 · Week 6 · 2012/13

Comedy

Ernest Worthing, who doesn’t exist, is engaged to two different women.

Jack and Algernon, the two men who are both pretending to be Ernest, see their second lives collide and their lies of convenience unravel, in this stylish and intelligent masterpiece, where appearance is everything and nothing needs to be taken seriously.

Oscar Wilde's ineffable wit, absurd and ingenious contrivance, and brilliant sense of humour combine in a hilarious evening of period farce in the apposite setting of Trinity OCR.

No cast or crew listed.
