Gwendolyn loves Ernest, and he loves her. Cecily loves Ernest too, though he's only just finding that out, and he loves her back. But is it a lover's triangle, or is there room for two happy couples in Oscar Wilde's madcap romance—and just what will fearsome Aunt Augusta have to say about it? The quintessential comedy of proper manners, by the quintessential Bad Boy of his day—what Wilde teasingly called his "Trivial comedy for serious people." Mislaid babies, mistaken identities, secret engagements, baffled suitors, and some of the wittiest wordplay ever volleyed over cucumber sandwiches. Can they really untangle the plot twists and get it all sorted out before tea?
Featuring CENTERSTAGE Associate Artist Laurence O'Dwyer (as you've not seen him since Travels with My Aunt).
