A Look Back

at the 2007-08 Young Actors Series

The Importance of
Being Earnest


March 27 - April 6, 2008

A comedy by Oscar Wilde

Presented by

Weathervane’s ensemble of teen actors

A wealthy Londoner pretends to have a friend in the country in order to avoid an unwelcome social obligation. In this delicious comedy of manners, Oscar Wilde wields his famously savage wit to poke fun at the Victorian social mores and stereotypes of his contemporaries. Even 113 years later, audiences still laugh with recognition at this expertly farcical examination of marriage, money, social class, status and image.

Directed by Melanie Y.C. Pepe
