GNHS Fall Show: The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s delightful comedy about John Worthing--a young man who lives a bit of a double life--and his friend Algernon Moncrieff who joins in the fray. John’s young niece Cecily is in love with a man she has never met and doesn’t realize he is supposedly already engaged to a woman named Gwendolyn.  Of course, we must have a matriarch, Lady Brachnell, who doesn’t approve of any of these arrangements and as well as a man of the cloth and a dutiful governess who add to the hilarity of this classic.
