The Importance of Being Earnest

By Oscar Wilde

Single tickets available now!

A play of love and snacks. Indulge in the delightful absurdity of Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece! In this dazzling display of deception and desire, two charming bachelors bumble through a maze of mistaken identities and appetites. Sharp, smart, and satirical, Wilde called his most popular work “A trivial comedy for serious people.”
