Description
a senior project in Drama

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST: a queer adaptation

based on the works of Oscar Wilde, adaptation by Christian Lewis '17*
Open to the Public - Reservations required
directed by Darrell James and John Michael Rezes '18
This adaptation queers the 1895 classic by exploring the relationship between Jack and Algernon as they explore their sexualities. Set in modern day America, this work confronts the politics of homophobia, living in the closet, coming out to family, and the pressures to have a straight marriage. Although Jack loves Algernon, Algernon is unsure what he wants. Afraid to come out, Jack proposes to Gwendolen so he can hush rumors about his sexuality. Thankfully Gwendolen seems as disinterested in procreation as Jack. Things get complicated though when Algernon meets Cecily and falls in love, leaving Jack behind. Over it all stands Lady Bracknell, as set on heterosexuality as the Victorians were.
