Show Description:

*The Importance of Being Earnest* is Wilde's best-known play and arguably
his dramatic masterpiece.  This comic farce pokes fun at the upper-class
during the late Victorian period in England, with mistaken identities,
romance and confusion being the specialties on the menu. Wilde's talent with
wit and language never had a finer setting.

Two young gentlemen have taken to bending the truth in order to put some
excitement into their lives. Jack Worthing has invented a brother, Ernest,
whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind to visit the
ravishing Gwendolen. Algernon Moncrieff decided to take the name 'Ernest'
when visiting Worthing's young and beautiful ward, Cecily at the country
manor. Things start to go awry when they end up together in the country and
their deceptions are discovered - threatening to spoil their romantic
pursuits.



Character Description:

Dr. Chasuble: Age 50-70.  Rector of the Church at Woolton, near John
Worthing's country estate.  He is a kind, understanding and educated man
with a fondness for ceremony.
