Earnest poster — The Importance of Being Earnest (2021)

The curtain went up on Trivial Muffins' inaugural production, The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde), five years ago. To celebrate our anniversary, we are reviving this masterful comedy with a renewed set and magnificent costumes.

Two young bachelors, Jack and Algernon, want to gain the love of Gwendolen and Cecily. To win the heart of the ladies — but mainly to get away for a weekend — each man assumes an alias. But when their aliases turn out to be a bit too similar, confusion, chaos, and comedy ensue.
