The Chilliwack Players Guild presents The Importance of Being Earnest Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is often referred to as A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. The play was first performed in 1895 at St. James's Theatre in London. It is, in many ways, a style unto itself, part farce and part satire. The young men in the play create fictitious characters to rid themselves of the social obligations of Victorian England, unfortunately for them and fortunately for the audience, with hilarious consequences. The production has drawn some of the most notable performers in the history of the theatre to its staging, including Sir John Gielgud and Dame Edith Evan; the former directing the production on Broadway earning a "Tony" award.
