This riotous musical, inspired by the farces of ancient Rome, tells the story of Pseudolus, a slave who attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.
The plot displays many classic elements of farce, including puns, cases of mistaken identity (frequently involving characters disguising themselves as one another), and satirical comments on social class. “Tragedy tomorrow. A comedy tonight!”

Universally regarded as Oscar Wilde’s finest play, The Importance of Being Earnest employs every device known to farce -- mistaken identities, ill-timed arrivals, and frustrated young lovers to name a few. Wilde’s delectable wordplay is at the forefront of his sublime “trivial comedy for serious people.” The play is a rollicking romp in the English countryside that will keep the audience delighted and amused from start to finish.
