The Importance of Being Earnest
Wildly witty classic comedy by Oscar Wilde at OSU Proscenium Theatre.
Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners follows two Victorian gentlemen who create fictional alter egos to escape their social obligations—with hilarious results when their deceptions unravel. This witty, fast-paced play is filled with clever wordplay, mistaken identities, and absurd situations that appeal to both adults and older kids. Expect elegant costumes, sharp dialogue, and plenty of laughs as Wilde gently mocks the pretensions of high society. It's a perfect introduction to theater for families who enjoy clever humor and timeless stories.
