Aquila Theatre Company: The Importance of Being Earnest January 26, 2012

The Aquila Theatre Company presents a delightful and tantalizing production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, promising to overflow with humor, elegance, and romantic comedy. Since its first performance on February 14, 1895, Wilde’s masterpiece has become a respected piece of literature and has delighted audiences with its wit and wisdom.

The New York Times has described Aquila’s productions as “Gleefully engaging…almost unbearable fun…directed with inspiration and a beautiful use of physical humor” while The New Yorker has proclaimed their productions to be “beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect.” Crammed full of larger-than-life characters and memorable satirical humor, Aquila’s creative staging and sparkling flare for language make this production one not to be missed.

This tour engagement of Aquila Theatre Company is supported in part by the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation’s ArtsCONNECT program in made possible through major funding from the National Endowment for the Arts’ Regional Touring Program.
