By Oscar Wilde Adapted by Errol Durbach from Wilde's original 4-Act version of The Importance of Being Earnest A co-production with Persephone Theatre, Saskatoon January 24 to February 2, 2013 SAGEBRUSH THEATRE
In this hilarious comedy, pandemonium ensues when a duplicitous duo of wealthy playboys find themselves together, both masquerading as the same person, with each wooing a different woman! Amid a flurry of mistaken identity, witty banter and cucumber sandwiches, Oscar Wilde has created one of the funniest satires ever written.
