The Importance of Being Earnest (Two Ways)

New York Classical Theatre

Written by Oscar Wilde
Adapted and Directed by Stephen Burdman

Who really wears the pants in 1895 England? New York Classical Theatre opens its 20th Anniversary Season with a gender-flipping production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. The entire cast swaps genders and roles at every other performance! Considered one of the funniest comedies in the English language, Earnest is a satire of social manners and obligations in Victorian courtship. This will be NY Classical's first show presented in a traditional seated venue. Since 2000, NY Classical has provided affordable and approachable performances in iconic New York City settings, from Brookfield Place to Central Park.

The Neurology of the Soul

Untitled Theater Company No. 61

Written and directed by Edward Einhorn

A new play by Edward Einhorn examining the nexus between neuroscience, marketing, art, and love. Set at a neuromarketing firm, it follows a neuroscientist who is trying to scientifically define love ; his wife, an artist who is using her brain scans as the basis of video self-portraits; a marketer who is trying to apply the science of love to advertising; and a gallery owner who deals with art as a commodity. This multimedia production continues Untitled Theater Company No. 61’s ongoing interest in combining theater with the fields of economics and neuroscience.
