The Importance of Being Earnest

The footlight players

A trivial comedy for serious people
Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest follows Jack, a country bachelor who goes by the name Ernest when he pops into the city; and his friend Algernon, who seeks a thrill by becoming Ernest in the country. Jack proposes to Gwendolen Fairfax while Algernon, posing as Jack's wicked brother Ernest, falls in love with Jack's ward, Cecily. Oscar Wilde was a master of social farce, and aristocratic Victorian men often provided fodder for works like The Importance of Being Earnest.

In honor of the centenary anniversary of Williams' birth - our Department will produce an evening of five of his short one-act plays. These plays offer a rare chance to explore some of Williams' lesser-known yet equally powerful works, including early versions of the tragic figures that haunt his later classics, like A Streetcar Named Desire. The stories ache with Williams' deep affinity for the tragedies wrought by human frailty. Their drama, outrageous comedy and romance encompass the full scope of Williams' magnificent talent.

The Turn of the Screw

The Village Playhouse

Do you believe in ghosts?
Based on the provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this 2 person adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after, under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be-heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?
