About

When Algernon discovers that his friend, Ernest, has created a fictional brother for whenever he needs a reason to escape dull country life, Algernon poses as the brother, resulting in ever-increasing confusion.

An English classic showcasing the best of Wilde's wit, some barely veiled innuendo, indecorous decorum, and a never-ending stream of cucumber sandwiches and assorted other tasty delectables, DramaSoc's second major show of 2018 promises to induce paroxysmic titters of laughter and even, dare I say it, the odd guffaw!
