The Importance Of Being Earnest - Magic Hat Productions

A play by Oscar Wilde presented by Magic Hat Productions.

In 1890s England, Algernon and his friend Jack are a spirited pair of London dandies who are keen to win the hands of the women they love. And their chosen brides, Cecily and Gwendolen are their perfect women - except that they appear to have a particular disliking to any name, other than Ernest. Adopting this unusual name is the least of their troubles when Lady Bracknell arrives. Quizzing Jack over his social pedigree, Lady Bracknell is utterly dismayed when he claims to being parented by a handbag. She presents him with an ultimatum; unless he can prove his suitable origin within the week, the marriage will be off. Mistaken identities, covering up the truth, farcical comedy and wit are all present in this Oscar Wilde classic.

Cast Includes Adam Romain, Jill Titone and Sarah Elizabeth Barratt.
