A Trivial Comedy for Serious People
A new adaptation from the Cardboard Box Theatre Project
Friday, March 26 at 8PM; Saturday, March 27 at 8PM; Sunday, March 28 at 7PM
San Jose, CA — Cardboard Box Theatre Project will present its third production on March 26-28 at WORKS/San Jose in downtown San Jose, CA. Doors open half an hour before showtime (Show 8PM Friday and Saturday; 7PM Sunday). (Concessions available) Tickets: $5 Students, $10 General Admission.
Cardboard Box Theatre Project’s The Importance of Being Earnest takes the theatre company into new territory. CBTP’s first two productions, A Box of Strange and Season’s Greetings, were new works written by company members. This time, CBTP ventures into the second half of its mission to present new works and old works in new ways as director, Maren Lovgren, breathes new life into Oscar Wilde’s infamous work. Playing with the ideas of shifting surfaces and perspectives, the logistics of identity, and British pop culture, Lovgren has created a surrealistic and slapstick vision of this otherwise manner-driven world as only four actors perform the entire work.
The Importance of Being Earnest – In this timelessly witty world where style, not substance, is the rule, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrief spend their days concocting alternate identities and fictional friends. But when the town and the country converge and romantic hijinks escalate, both men must discover how to be honestly Earnest.
