• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, April 26 at 10:00 pm, Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" starring James Marsters, Charles Busch and Matt Wolf

  Posted by Donna Walker at Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 2:25 PM

  This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Earnest, “that name which inspires absolute confidence”. Wilde’s effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language. Interview with Michael Hackett—the Department Chair of Theater at UCLA. In addition to his extensive directorial work for L.A. Theatre Works—which includes plays by Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, and Noël Coward.
