A Gay Importance of Being Earnest
Two couples fight for the right to be engaged in this masterful satire written by Oscar Wilde, who was arrested for “gross indecency with men” in 1895. This timeless story galivants through a world obsessed with appearances, money, and social status. The parallels with today’s Hollywood Culture make for searing fun and by presenting the four lovers as dashing gay men, Queer Classics reimagines the play more hysterically fabulous than Oscar could have imagined possible in his lifetime.
