The Citadel | The Importance of Being Earnest
September 23 - October 15, 2023
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Jackie Maxwell
The classic comedy by Oscar Wilde comes alive on the Citadel stage. Two society bachelors, Jack and Algernon, both secretly pretend to be a man called Ernest. After meeting two women who know them only as their alter egos, a weekend in the country sparks mayhem and hilarity in this farce about mistaken identities as they attempt to conceal the truth and keep up the charade.
