The Importance of Being Earnest
Work:: The Importance of Being Earnest (S3690)
Classic turn-of-the-century comedy of social manners. A very complicated plot that includes the famous "A Handbag!" line .. Jack Worthing is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax, daughter of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell, and cousin of his friend Algernon. They cannot wed until the mystery of his parentage (he was found in a handbag on Victoria Station) is resolved. Algy discovers that Jack has a pretty young ward, Cecily, living at the Manor and visits her pretending to be Jack's fictitious (and wicked) brother Ernest.

Originally set in Algernon's London apartments and Jack's country house, we'll be setting our modern version in the City and town offices of a family business. There'll be a few tweaks to the original script to create our modern setting but all the characters and Wilde's best known lines will remain.
