November 7-16, 2025 The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde Directed by Dustin Whitehead Longstreet Theatre Meet Jack Worthing, a socialite leading two lives. He’s the respectable “Jack” at his country estate, but pretends to be his imaginary brother, the freewheeling “Ernest,” in the city. When his good friend Algernon discovers the deception, he decides to get in on the action, coming to Jack’s country estate as the fictional brother. This complicates not only Jack’s designs on Algernon’s cousin Gwendolen, but Algernon’s own desire for Jack’s young ward, Cecily. Filled with absurdist plot twists and Wilde’s acerbic wit, this “trivial comedy for serious people” is a masterpiece of farce that The Telegraph said “has a claim to being the most perfect high comedy in the English language.”
