Birch & Teal Productions is back with Oscar Wilde’s most dazzling comedy! This hilarious Victorian romp portrays two young men, Jack and Algernon, who are keen to avoid their social obligations. Clearly, the easiest way to get out of anything is to pretend that your name is Ernest. Thus chaos, comedy and confusion ensues as both young men develop their own love interests, try to thwart each other and seek to avoid domination by the indomitable Lady Bracknell. Fans of handbags, cucumber sandwiches, relations, carelessness, proposals, christenings, railway stations (especially the Brighton line) and governesses with secrets cannot fail to be entertained by Wilde’s witticisms and exaggerated characters. This is a trivial comedy for serious people.
Birch & Teal's production runs January 25 - 31, 7:00 PM at Tom Morrison Theatre.
