The Importance of Being Earnest
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a delightful comedy of manners that gleefully skewers Victorian social conventions and highlights the absurdities of high society. Set in London, the play follows two charming bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who have invented fictitious personas—“Ernest” and “Bunbury”—to escape societal obligations and indulge in mischievous adventures.
Jack uses the name "Ernest" when visiting the city to court Gwendolen Fairfax, who adores him, partly because of his “sincere” name. Meanwhile, Algernon discovers Jack's secret identity and decides to take on the "Ernest" persona himself to woo Jack’s young ward, Cecily Cardew. This tangled web of mistaken identities, coupled with Wilde’s razor-sharp wit, leads to hilarious consequences as the characters navigate love, identity, and the importance (or lack thereof) of being "earnest."
Arsenic and Old Lace
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster and his sweetheart Elaine have just made up their minds to elope. But then, with the train practically pulling into the station and Elaine next door packing, he discovers his delightful aunts are poisoning lonely old men and, helped by his brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, burying them in the basement. Mortimer doesn’t dare tell Elaine what’s going on, but sorting this out definitely means delaying the wedding. Then comes another complication: his evil brother Jonathan arrives looking for a place to hide out while having the plastic surgery that will save him from being caught and sent back to prison. Can Mortimer save his family, see justice done, and marry Elaine?
Arsenic and Old Lace is often described as a classic dark comedy with plenty of laughs, melodramatic thrills, and a little slapstick. It’s all of that. But it’s also a play about wanting to do your best for the good people in your life, the desire to shelter them not only from blatant evil, but also from loneliness, ridicule and heartbreak.
