You’ll laugh out loud when this comic masterpiece untangles the double lives of two well-to-do society-gentlemen, both of whom have assumed the same alias in order to escape the doldrums of everyday life. Mistaken identities, a mysterious friend named Bunbury, and a misplaced handbag lead to unexpected turns (and happy endings!) in Oscar Wilde’s time-honored tour de force of cleverness and charm.

For the viewing pleasure of our audiences, BYU Theatre is thrilled to present both The Importance of Being Earnest and Travesties simultaneously. *This production is included in the BYU Theatre Season Package. See p. 50 for more information. byu ticket office 801-422-2981 byuarts.com 43

What happens when the communist Lenin, the dadaist Tristan Tzara, and the author James Joyce meet in a library? In Stoppard’s award-winning classic, these important historical figures cross wits on the nature and function of politics and art in a farcical tale of misunderstandings, mistaken identity, and a misplaced handbag borrowed directly from Wilde’s masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest.

For the viewing pleasure of our audiences, BYU Theatre is thrilled to present both The Importance of Being Earnest and Travesties simultaneously. *This production is included in the BYU Theatre Season Package. See p. 50 for more information.
