THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Aug. 4-20
[Over-the-Rhine]

Cast: Tora Nogami Alexander as Cecily Cardew, Darnell Pierre Benjamin as Reverend Canon Chasuble, Burgess Byrd as Miss Primm, Bill Chace as Lane/Merriman, Jeremy Dubin as John “Jack” Worthing/Ernest, James Evans as Algernon, “Algy” Moncrieff, Kelly Mengelkoch as Gwendolen Fairfax & Christine Pedi as Lady Bracknell

Avoiding an unwanted social engagement? Two bachelors have found way out! Gallivanting under the false identity of “Earnest,” “bunburying” is the perfect solution to avoiding one’s duties and responsibilities by claiming to have appointments to see a fictitious person.  But their convoluted schemes of trivial deception and disguise become the delights of fools when they fall for two women who only love men named Earnest. Are romantic engagements possible if they avoid their true identity? Farcical fun abounds in one of the funniest comedies in the English language.

To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers.
