The Importance of Being Earnest archiveClassic turn-of-the-century comedy of social manners. A very complicated plot that includes the famous "A Handbag!" line .. Jack Worthing is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax, daughter of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell, and cousin of his friend Algernon. They cannot wed until the mystery of his parentage (he was found in a handbag on Victoria Station) is resolved. Algy discovers that Jack has a pretty young ward, Cecily, living at the Manor and visits her pretending to be Jack's fictitious (and wicked) brother Ernest. A wildly subversive, dynamic production of Wilde's famous satire; a fast-paced blend of physical theatre, clowning and ensemble playing - rich in high jinx and slapstick, with some exquisite a capella renditions of Mozart and Handel and a smooth hipster soundtrack.
