Kitchener Waterloo Little Theatre
The Importance of Being Earnest
BY OSCAR WILDE
DIRECTED BY ANGELA YEATES
John Worthing is in love with the Hon. Gwendolen Fairfax, but she is convinced she can only love a man named "Ernest". John's best friend (and Gwendolyn's cousin) Algernon Moncrieff is in love with young Cecily Cardew (John's niece), but she is convinced she can only love a man named "Ernest".
We see what happens when these four go toe-to-toe with Gwendolen's mother Lady Bracknell (a frighteningly proper old battleaxe), Cecily's governess, and a local minister.
Set in England during the late Victorian era, "The Importance of Being Earnest" is arguably Oscar Wilde's best known work. A trivial comedy for serious people, Wilde's play is still considered one of English theatre's finest comedies even 100 years later.
Note: This play is replacing KWLT's production of "Romeo and Juliet".
