The Importance of Being Earnest February 18, 2011

Mesquite Community Theatre presents Oscar Wilde's popular play, 'The Importance of Being Earnest.' Set in 1890s England, we meet a spirited pair of London dandies who are keen to win the hands of the women they love. Their chosen brides are perfect, except that they appear to have a pathological aversion to any name other than Earnest. Adopting this unusual name is the least of their troubles when the imposing Lady Bracknell arrives to guard her beloved daughter's reputation and investigate her suitors.
