The Importance of Being Earnest

  • The Loewe Theatre 119 East 68th Street New York, NY, 10065 United States (map)

Esther Neff reimagines Oscar Wilde's classic Victorian comedy on the romantic foibles of the British upper class as a reality TV show filmed in our present era of extreme economic inequality. As the director states in their program note:

Our production satirizes the way in which the wealthy fabricate their own world and ours...By setting the play in our own present, we may aim to provide a lucid image of the ironic cruelties in our own society.

The production promises to be unlike anything else the Hunter Theatre Department has ever presented before. We hope you will join us for this high-tech reinvention of a work that has become a standard in the English-speaking world. 

Tickets are FREE with a Hunter ID. Stop by the Kaye Playhouse Box Office to get your free ticket today!
