Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” is the last of his four drawing-room plays, the previous three being “Lady Windermere’s Fan”, “A Woman Of No Importance” and “An Ideal Husband”, written a couple of hundred years ago! This farcical comedy depicts the tangled affairs of two young ‘men about town’ who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name ‘Ernest’ while wooing the two young women of their affections. The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirizes late Victorian manners, and introduces – in addition to the two pairs of young lovers – the formidable ‘Lady Bracknell’ – you must have heard of her! A luminary of Albuquerque theatre holding the director’s baton, Mario Cabrera has chosen six very well-known actors – Georgia Athearn, Nicee Brown, Clair Gardner, Jerry Hines, Bailey Hunt, Scott Sharot and Michael Weppler - to delight the audience, along with M. Cabrera, as ‘Lady Bracknell’! Performances 7.30pm Fridays and Saturdays. Additional performances Thursday Dec 11 and 18 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday Dec 13 - 2pm only.
