The Arts Society Steyning invite you to this month's talk: A Haaand-Baaag? The Importance of Being Oscar (And Earnest).
The talk will be given by Simon Whitehouse and will examine Oscar Wilde’s great literary and theatrical successes, focusing on The Importance of Being Earnest - one of the funniest, most performed and frequently quoted plays. This marks the 130th anniversary of its premiere performance. Described as ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People’, it will explore the play’s hidden elements, how it was both of its time and yet also ahead of its time, and how it satirised Victorian society.
