HET HOMEROSTHEATER performs:
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
A trivial comedy for serious people
by Oscar Wilde in English
RERUN IN OCTOBER!
Our controversial production was one of the most talked about shows at FEATS 2011 in Geneva last may, and was awarded with a prize for best set design.
Jack and Algernon, two young pillars of society, are both avoiding the duties and responsibilities of Victorian social life. By inventing friends and brothers they try to escape from boredom and tedious obligations. Will they succeed in their pursuit of love and freedom? Or will they find defeat in marriage and respectability?
The play mocks Victorian society, but does not attack it. To Wilde social conventions were a farce, but a necessary farce: too important to be taken seriously.
