Something OLD

A new cut of the classic Oscar Wilde play, The Importance of Being Earnest

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

Earnest

by Oscar Wilde
Cut and Directed by Rachel Horowitz-Andrews
Assistant Directed by Joe Nussbaum

THE SCRIPT

The original Oscar Wilde script with a few setting-specific cuts, to set our production in North Carolina. The run time will be under 2 hours.

THE CONCEPT

We are reimagining Earnest as a 90's sitcom. These well-known Wilde characters will be larger than life, much like some of the personalities from the iconic shows of the 1990s.

We’re so thrilled to be mounting Earnest at VAULT THEATRE STUDIOS in Durham!
