The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
2 – 12 July
Double Trouble, and the Pursuit of Cucumber Sandwiches!
Meet Jack and Algernon, two dashing bachelors with a terrible habit of fabricating alter egos to escape boring social obligations and woo the ladies. Everything is delightfully deceitful until they both fall head-over-heels for women who have one non-negotiable requirement for a husband: his name must be Earnest!
Prepare as the Garden Theatre Festival Repertory company take on mistaken identities, sharp-witted banter, outrageous social critiques, and the formidable Lady Bracknell!
Will they untangle their web of lies? Eat too many Cucumber Sandwiches? Or pop a baby in a handbag! Come find out!
