Amateur theater group Arteatro 13 stages the play ‘La importancia de llamarse Ernesto’ at the Padre Manuel Cultural Center.

The performance of this play by Oscar Wilde will take place next Friday, June 13, at 7:00 pm.

Estepona City Council informs that the amateur theater group Arteatro 13 will represent next Friday, June 13, the renowned play by Oscar Wilde ‘The importance of being called Ernesto’. It will be directed by Beatriz Chacón and will feature performances by actors Diego Navarro, Jerónimo Mora, Francisco José Rodríguez, Julia Jiménez, Yolanda Jiménez, Ana Recio Martínez, Caterina Pailhez and Marta Mora. The Arteatro group premiered this play last February in Manilva, they performed it last weekend in Malaga in the Maynake hall and now it arrives in Estepona.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a play by Oscar Wilde written in 1895. This ‘frivolous comedy for serious people’, or, as Oscar Wilde also describes it, “an admirable farce for the style, but fatal for the writing”, is perhaps the best known and most represented work of the great Irish author. In it, Wilde devotes himself to the wit of language and makes style, chatter and nonsense the core of the play. It is a comedy of tangles in which the author throws his darts at marriage, religion or that which makes us respectable. The play tells the story of two men, Jack and Algernon, who will use all kinds of deception to add excitement to their lives.

The ticket for this comedy to be performed next Friday, June 13, is 10 euros and can be purchased at the lottery administration 1X2, in front of the orchid house, or at the box office, one hour before the event.
