Oscar Wilde’s delectable wordplay is at the forefront of his sublime “trivial comedy for serious people,” The Importance of Being Earnest. It does seem unthinkable but both Jack Worthing and Algernon Montcrief must assume the name “Ernest” in order to win their loves’ hearts. For the ladies are certain they could never be happy married to a man who was named something other than Ernest. But the lads’ matrimonial plans may be thwarted by Jack’s questionable lineage and the formidable Lady Bracknell, who is the mother of his intended and Algernon’s aunt. Their dilemma leads to the most articulate hilarity in the history of theatre!
The play will be held at Solvang Theaterfest at 420 Second Street in Solvang. For tickets, call 805/922-8313, visit the box office at Solvang Theaterfest, or visit www.pcpa.org
