Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy of manners comes to life this fall at the Westport Country Playhouse with The Importance of Being Earnest. Packed with mistaken identities, secret engagements, a misplaced handbag, and one very formidable aunt, this fast-paced and delightfully ridiculous romp through Victorian society promises sharp wit and endless charm.
Two eligible bachelors find themselves tangled in a web of deception as they bend the truth in their pursuit of love, leading to hilarious complications, sparkling satire, and far too many cucumber sandwiches. Wilde’s razor-sharp language and outrageous humor shine in this joyously theatrical masterpiece that gleefully skewers love, marriage, and high society.
Performances run from October 28 through November 15, 2025, with evening shows at 7 pm or 8 pm on select dates, and matinees at 2 pm or 3 pm. The Westport Country Playhouse is located at 25 Powers Court, Westport, Connecticut. For tickets and additional details, visit westportplayhouse.org or contact the box office at 203-227-4177.
