    The Arizona Biltmore is partnering for the second summer in a row with Southwest Shakespeare Company to present classic productions at the resort ? The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.



    What's in a name? John Worthing and his friend Algernon Moncrieff fall in love with two young ladies who both have their hearts set on marrying men named Ernest. To win their ladies' hands, Jack and Algy concoct an elaborate scheme, and chaos ensues. The "Gold Standard" of Comedies of Wit by which all others must be measured and written in three weeks while on family holiday, The Importance of Being Earnest is an unquestioned masterpiece of modern comedy. The play has delighted audiences for over a century. Probably the wittiest play ever penned, the play reveals that "the pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple."



    The theater series will be a highlight of the Arizona Biltmore's second-annual, blockbuster "Hollywood & Wine" festival. The summer-long, Hollywood-themed festival, running Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, includes celebrity bands in concert including Randy Newman and Fab Faux, wine tastings with celebrity winemakers, Hollywood professionals revealing their creative secrets in special presentations, movie screenings and much more.
