PREMISE: One of the sharpest satires of the English language, this masterpiece continues to delight and astound audiences years after its author's death. Poking fun at British aristocracy while keeping onlookers in stitches, Oscar Wilde's wittily constructed story of foolishness, deceit and cunning strikes an admirable balance between criticism and comedy.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: "The only funny Victorian play ever written." That's how Fred Hood describes this work. A native of Great Britain, the director says his upbringing should improve his interpretation of the cultural manner so key to Wilde's masterpiece. Importance will be "a very classic production of a classic play," says Hood.

THE BUZZ: A must-see. A classic production is exactly what will make Importance showcase the greatness of it's author's mind. Wilde's wit combined with cast and directing talent promise to keep us enthralled in this one.
