Engaged!, W.S. Gilbert’s well-acclaimed comedic play (and the inspiration for Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest), takes the stage in a whirl of petticoats and romantic entanglements. Watch as working-class Belvawney, best friend of wealthy Cheviot Hill, falls in love with the beautiful Belinda, who is engaged to the Major and also ardently pursued by the possibly thrice-engaged Cheviot, who falls in love at first sight… with every woman he meets. Confused? It’s all part of the absurd, earnest, and utterly charming fun of this lighthearted Summer Fling.
