The Importance of Being Earnest

Summary:

In Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece, "The Importance of Being Earnest," two charming bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, make a habit of using fictitious names to escape their social obligations. Jack invents a wicked brother named "Ernest" to enjoy the thrills of city life, while Algernon creates an imaginary friend named "Bunbury" to avoid tedious family dinners. Things take a turn for the absurd when they both end up pursuing romance under their aliases, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings.

Watch the chaos unfold as both men try to keep up their double lives without being found out—after all, it’s no small task to juggle love and lies while pretending to be named "Ernest." Expect witty banter, delightfully eccentric characters, and Wilde’s signature satirical flair. Don't miss this classic play that proves the truth is stranger—and funnier—than fiction! 

Come join the NHS Fourth Wall Players for a night of laughter and clever repartees—because in the world of Wilde, being earnest has never been so entertaining!



The show’s run time is 40 mins and the whole performance will likely be a one hour experience.
