Details

by Oscar Wilde

The Importance of Being Earnest is on the English Literature A-Level syllabus for the Edexcel and AQA exam boards.

A Trivial Comedy for Serious People

Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so.

While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade.

Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.

Max Webster directs a joyful and flamboyant re-imagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy. Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke is joined by Ncuti Gatwa  and Hugh Skinner in this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
