The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest was Oscar Wilde’s last play and is often said to be his most famous. The satire is a hilarious take on society opened at Cyrano’s Theatre Company last weekend, directed by Teresa K. Pond, and runs through the end of April.

Created in 1895, this comic masterpiece considers the issues of love, truth, honor, family, in a farcical manner. The tale of two men whose deceptions and shenanigans create a series of crises that threaten to spoil their romantic pursuits, this witty commentary on society and obligation is a favorite of generations.
