The Importance of Being Earnest at Cue Zero Theatre Company

Cue Zero Theatre Company, NH Magazine’s Best of NH 2019 “Best ‘New’ Theatre”, continues to bring innovative and unique theatre to southern New Hampshire with The Importance of Being Earnest in Manchester. This hilarious, timeless comedy will prove to be the funniest production this winter.

Oscar Wilde’s famous farce kicks off Cue Zero’s second main stage season. In this uproarious play, the protagonists maintain fictitious personas to escape burdensome social obligations. Confined to the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play trivializes and satirizes serious institutions like marriage. Officially subtitled “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” the Cue Zero production will make the text unquestionably relatable to the 21st century with an intriguingly modern approach. Come get your funny-bone tickled February 28th – March 1st right in downtown Manchester in the Krevia Academy Public Charter School auditorium. Tickets will be $15 dollars and are available now at CZTheatre.com.

Earnest stars rising actors Hugo Lindsay, Shawyoun Shaidani, Caroline DeBrota, and Emilee Thompson, supported by seasoned theatre veterans Bruce MacDonald, Jude Jennings, Laura Hoglund, and Keith McCormack. Award winning artistic director Dan Pelletier is incredibly excited to bring these talented performers together to perform one of his favorite plays. “From day one, I knew this was going to be a special production,” said Pelletier. “I have been blessed with some of the brightest comedic talent who are all enthusiastic about and dedicated to making this one of best ever experiences for our audiences. Despite this play being over one hundred years old, it feels unbelievably relevant to our modern world of double identities, and social lies.”
