Watch the battle of the sexes played out on the Wyatt Deck in two hilarious comedies. This summer, Common House Productions presents Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost in repertory.
Wilde's three-act comedy satirizes social conventions and obligations in its depiction of two young couples trying to navigate the rules of the marriage market in Victorian London. Through the course of the play Jack, Algernon, Gwendolyn, and Cecily will learn the importance of having cucumber sandwiches on hand, of keeping one's handbags in plain sight, and, above all else, the importance of being Earnest!
In Love's Labour's Lost, one of Shakespeare's early comedies, we are transported to Navarre where a king and his lords vow to swear off women to study. The men's fortitude will be tested when a princess and three beautiful women come to Navarre and make sport of this male pact.
