The Importance of Being Earnest explores themes of identity, deception, and social expectations, all set against the backdrop of Victorian England, written by one of the greatest authors and playwrights - Oscar Wilde. Come see a new hilarious retelling of the classic comedy play by Playful Fox Productions.
