Oscar Wilde's satirical comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People returns to Kingston's Rose Theatre. The farcical play, which received adaptations for both tv and film, runs for a limited time this November.
The Importance of Being Earnest is a satirical play in three acts that dabbles with social hypocrisy, dysfunctional families, gender, class, and sexuality.
The tightly crafted story follows two young men who discover they have both created elaborate fictitious double lives to evade their social obligations. Through a string of lies that transpire to be true and truths that turn out to be lies, loves are forbidden, engagements are made, and long-lost identities come to light.
Oscar Wilde's genius wit shines brightly in his last comedic and dramatic work. With its sharply intelligent dialogue, high farce, and inexhaustible humour, many consider it his greatest dramatic achievement.
