Theatre Club Performing Oscar Wilde Piece
By Rae Lynch
Cal State San Marcos’ Blue Light Student Theatre Club is presenting a performance of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.” The play will be Oct. 2-4 at 7 p.m. in Arts Building 111. Tickets are $7 for students and $10 for the community.
The play follows two men leading double lives under the alias “Ernest,” hoping to escape societal responsibility and captivate women. However, their lies only entangle them further as the women they attract begin to believe they are engaged to the same man.
One of Wilde’s most famous works, the play directed by Em Schweim, president of the theatre club, takes a comedic tone and uses witty dialogue to humorously critique the British upper class.
