THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Book Tickets 2022 Mainhouse
If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

Oscar Wilde’s much adored ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ is one of the most renowned plays of the 19th century.

A story of love, mystery and dual identities, it follows the story of Algernon and Jack who both vie for the name Ernest, and so, win the heart of the beautiful ladies, Gwendolyn and Cecily. Underlying this quest for love is the mystery of Jack’s past, in which he was found, as a baby, in a handbag on the platform of a train station.

In true 19th century style, with beautiful costumes, witty quips and a love story that has stood the test of time, this story is sure to delight.

Written by Oscar Wilde
