Event: The Importance of Being Earnest

Jack Worthing keeps his town life separate from his country life by pretending to be his own (imaginary) brother, Ernest, when in town. When Jack’s mischievous friend, Algernon, decides to visit Jack’s home posing as Ernest, confusion follows. Mistaken identities can only be resolved through discovering the origins of a large black handbag! Wilde described this play as: ‘exquisitely trivial, a delicate bubble of fancy, and it has its philosophy.... that we should treat all the trivial things of life seriously and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.’

Note,there are no Monday performances.
