BHS Fall Play Tickets on Sale: The Importance of Being Earnest

Berkley High School Drama Department, Be Drama, is proud to announce their fall play, “The Importance of Being Earnest,” a play by Oscar Wilde. “The Importance of Being Earnest” will be presented to the community November 21-23, 2024 at 7 pm.

First performed in 1895, “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a farcical comedy depicting the tangled affairs of two young men about town who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name Ernest while wooing the two young women of their affections.

The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirizes late Victorian manners, and introduces – in addition to the two pairs of young lovers – the formidable Lady Bracknell, the fussy governess Miss Prism and the benign and scholarly Canon Chasuble.
