Dartmouth Players presents "The Importance of Being Earnest"
April 07, 2010
- April 24, 2010
Written by Oscar Wilde. Directed by Isabelle Theriault.
What happens when you use a different identity when you come to the city from your home in the city from your home in the country? What if your friend finds out and decides to play along, without your knowledge? Enjoy the confusion of wedding proposals, christenings, and surprise guests when two men use the same false identity. This Oscar Wilde play is filled with the rich accessories from the upper-class life of the 1890s. The contradictory views on marriage and romance mixed with cucumber sandwiches, afternoon tea, and a dash of proper manners - all topped off with the wit and satire of the upper-class bachelor. The confusion starts in the city and moves to the country as our characters begin to uncover the Importance of Being Earnest.
Tickets are $15 adults and $12 senior/Students.
