Written by Oscar Wilde, and directed by Steve Keim, The Importance of Being Earnest is widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies ever written. The play is a high rising confection of razor sharp wit, sparkling social satire, and the most famous handbag in theatre history. Featuring Bas Bleu's own Wendy Ishii as the formidable Lady Bracknell. Jack Worthing is living a double life. To escape his dull country existence, he has invented a younger brother called Earnest, whose scandalous behavior requires Jack to regularly travel to London. Once in the city, Jack becomes Earnest. He is utterly in love with Gwendolyn Fairfax, the daughter of the indomitable Lady Bracknell. When his best friend Algernon discovers that Jack has a secret identity and a beautiful niece called Cecily, he heads down to the country posing as the notorious brother, leading to a farcical tangle of mistaken identities, tempestuous tea parties, rapidly shifting alliances, and riotous revelations.
