ROBERT SINCLAIR BLACK BOX THEATRE
Ticket $5, General Admission
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is one of Wilde's most well-known and regularly produced comedies. Farcical and always verbally witty, it is the absurd story of two cases of double/mistaken identity and two couples that just want to get married. Wilde's paradoxical and aphoristic dialogue combines with truly comic characters, bitingly self-aware social commentary, and a plot so aburd that it's hilarious.
