Theatre classics dominate the 2023 season at The Wimberley Players. Selected by the theater’s artistic team by a months-long process of script selection, reading and voting, the plays are chosen not only on their artistic merits, but by their ability to be produced on the Wimberley Players stage.
On Feb. 24, “The Importance of Being Earnest,” a comedy by Oscar Wilde, opens on the Players stage. The absurdity of Victorian norms is exposed when two gentlemen lead double lives for the sake of living and loving their way. Their comic ruse provokes hilarious difficulties for themselves and their ladies, deftly delivered with Wilde’s classic wit and charm.
“Sense & Sensibility,” a comedy by Kate Hamil from the Jane Austen novel of the same name opens April 28. The Dashwood sisters face a bleak future when their father dies, and the estate goes to their brother. The characters, relationships and emotional truths of Jane Austen’s classic novel are brought to life in a brilliantly funny, fast-paced play.
