The Importance of Being Earnest
From the
Artistic Director
“I hope you will enjoy my ‘trivial’ play,” wrote Oscar Wilde to a friend about The Importance of Being Earnest. “It is written by a
butterfly for butterflies. It has as its philosophy…that we should treat all trivial things seriously, and the serious things in life with
sincere and studied triviality.”
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde had already produced three enormous hits in London’s West End within three years when on
a snow-choked Valentine’s Day in 1895 his greatest success premiered at St. James’s Theatre. The opening night of
The Importance of Being Earnest was a major social event. How I would have loved to have attended that glittering event!
Oscar himself was the impossibly witty, exquisitely dressed dandy that he relished presenting to his audience in his successful plays.
Writing for a Victorian high society where social conventions dictated all aspects of elite life, Wilde was the perfect aesthete
shooting barbed darts at a society that he both eagerly embraced and ruthlessly satirized. His plays were commercial pieces written
for the fashionable West End theaters, but they have never left the world’s stages since they premiered. Under Stephen
Wrentmore’s inspired direction, I couldn’t be more pleased to open our season with a fresh look at a true comic masterpiece.
I hope that you will find our 2013-2014 Season to be a journey of rich rewards. Many of our favorite artists will be returning to our
stages along with some wonderful new voices. Lou Bellamy, who directed our memorable productions of Jitney, A Raisin in the Sun
and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, returns on the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “I Have a Dream” speech with the moving
The Mountaintop. David Saar, Founding Artistic Director of Arizona’s beloved Childsplay, will join us once again to take us Around the
World in 80 Days. Two dynamic new voices, Shana Cooper and James Still, will make their ATC directorial debuts on our stages with
the Arizona premieres of the hit award-winning Broadway plays Venus in Fur and Other Desert Cities. And, of course, I couldn’t be
happier that so many of ATC’s magical artisans in our set, prop, costume, sound and lighting shops will be creating beautiful productions
for us again this year.
See you at the theatre!

From the
Interim Managing director
Dear Patrons:
Welcome to another season of exciting and stimulating theatre at Arizona Theatre Company! It is such a pleasure to begin a
new year even with the many challenges ahead. The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorite plays and, no matter
how many times you’ve seen it, it never fails to amuse and surprise an audience with its twists and turns.
As many of you may have seen in the media recently, ATC is facing a daunting time. After two years of retirement, I have been
asked to return to the theatre as Interim Managing Director. I’m here because I care deeply about the future of our theatre
company, as I hope you do. Although this is a difficult chapter in ATC’s long and distinguished history, I am confident that, with
your help, we will weather this storm as we have weathered others over my previous sixteen years with the organization.
However, the large deficit that has accumulated this last fiscal year must be dealt with if we are to see ATC become financially
stable again. Therefore, the Board of Trustees, David Ira Goldstein, the staff, and I are working together to make sure that the theatre
has a solid future.
Internal steps have been taken. The annual operating budget for this fiscal year has been cut dramatically, although the work on
stage will remain at its high level; David and I are actively working with the Board to raise $1 million in the next few months;
and the community is being asked to support ATC now as never before.
As Arizona Theatre Company celebrates its 47th season, we hope you will consider a generous gift. Please take home the
envelope in your playbill, think about what an enjoyable evening you have just experienced in the theatre, and decide how
you can help your theatre address its current situation and regain its solid financial footing.
If you have questions or need more information about any of this – no matter how large or small – please don’t hesitate
to call me at 520-884-8210. I will be happy to discuss it with you.
Thank you.
With immense gratitude,
Jessica L. Andrews
Interim Managing Director

About the Play
Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde was born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. His father
was a renowned physician and his mother was a poet whose work would
later influence her son’s writing. Wilde was a bright and successful student
in his youth, and he was awarded a scholarship to attend Trinity College in
Dublin in 1871. At the end of his first year he received the Foundation
Scholarship – the highest honor available to undergraduates – and upon
his graduation in 1874 was awarded a scholarship to continue his education
at Oxford, where he would make his first attempts at creative writing.

After completing his education, Wilde moved to London and concentrated
his efforts on writing poetry. He published his first collection, Poems, in
1881 and established himself as a promising emerging writer. In 1882,
Wilde embarked on a nine-month American lecture tour, where he met with
some of the most prominent American writers and scholars of his day. He
then continued to lecture in England and Ireland until 1884, when he
married the wealthy Englishwoman Constance Lloyd. The couple had
two children: Cyril, in 1885, and Vyvyan the following year. In 1885, Wilde
was hired to revive the once-popular Lady’s World magazine. While
serving as editor he published many of his greatest works including a
collection of children’s stories, a collection of essays advocating the tenets
of aestheticism, and his first and only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
To lose
one parent,
Mr. Worthing,
may be regarded
as a misfortune;
to lose both
looks like
carelessness.

About the Play
Wilde’s first play, Lady Windermere’s Fan, opened in 1892 to great critical
and popular acclaim. Having found success on the stage, Wilde continued
to focus on the theatre as his primary endeavor, producing such plays as
Salomé (1891), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband
(1895), and his most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest
(1895). He came to be known for his remarkable wit and satirical style
that combined seemingly frivolous comedies of manners with darker and
more serious undertones.
In the midst of his immense literary success and while The Importance of
Being Earnest was still in its premiere production at St. James’s Theatre,
Wilde filed a private prosecution against The Marquess of Queensberry for
criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde’s lover, Lord Alfred
Douglas, and had accused Wilde of homosexuality – a punishable offense
in England at the time. During the course of the trial, Wilde’s charges were
dismissed and eventually turned against him, resulting in his arrest for
gross indecency related to homosexual behavior. He was sentenced to two
years in prison, and his ensuing notoriety caused the close of Earnest
after a modest 86 performances.
Wilde never recovered personally or financially after being ripped from the
heights of popular and literary success. He fled to France after his release
from prison in 1897, and he spent the remainder of his life in abject
poverty. He produced only a single notable work after serving his sentence,
a poem entitled “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” recounting his experiences
in prison. He died in Paris of meningitis, impoverished and alone, on
November 20, 1900, at the age of 46.

About the Play
Aestheticism
Oscar Wilde was a staunch proponent of aestheticism, an artistic and
literary movement of the late 19th century that advocated the value of art
for the sake of beauty, rather than for any social or political agenda.
Aesthetes argued that art, including literature, need not serve any moral
or “useful” purpose but that its function was to simply enrich life through
the refined sensual pleasure that art could provide. They advocated the
theory that life should imitate art rather than nature, which was crude,
random, and devoid of design. Aestheticism greatly relied upon the use
of suggestion, sensuality, symbolism, and synaesthetic effects, or the
relationships between words, colors, and music to create the sense of
beauty that it so valued.
Oscar Wilde

by The San Francisco Wasp.
As a spokesman for aestheticism, Wilde attempted authorship in multiple
literary genres before turning to drama, including the publication of a
collection of essays on aesthetics, Intentions, in 1891. Writing for the stage
provided Wilde with a unique and appealing opportunity to construct
precise aesthetic details and combine them with larger social themes,
a style and approach that resounded with London society, and made him
one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian period.

metropolitan areas of Tucson and Phoenix, enriching the theatre learning
experience for current and future audiences.
