Two bachelors, one double life, endless hilarity—Oscar Wilde’s wit sparkles in Earnest this February at Oklahoma Shakespeare!
About this Event

Synopsis: Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy sparkles with wit, charm, and razor-sharp satire. The Importance of Being Earnest follows two young gentlemen, Jack and Algernon, who create elaborate double lives to escape social obligations and pursue romance. But when their deceptions collide, the result is a whirlwind of mistaken identities, outrageous revelations, and Wilde’s trademark epigrams that still dazzle over a century later.

Audiences are treated to a delightful romp through Victorian society, where cucumber sandwiches, handbags, and the pursuit of “earnestness” become hilariously entangled. Beneath the laughter lies Wilde’s clever critique of class, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • 🌟 One of the greatest comedies ever written, brimming with unforgettable lines
  • 😂 A fast-paced farce of love, lies, and laughter
  • 🎩 Elegant costumes and witty repartee that transport you to Wilde’s world
  • ❤️ A timeless satire that proves being earnest is not nearly as important as being entertaining
