The Importance of Being Earnest

"The Importance of Being Earnest" is the most renowned of Oscar Wilde’s comedies.

Jack wishes to marry Algernon’s cousin the beautiful Gwendoline but first he must convince her mother, the fearsome Lady Bracknell, of the respectability of his parents and his past. For Jack, however, this is not as easy as it sounds, having started life abandoned in a handbag at Victoria station.

Prepare to take a welcome turn with Wilde’s much-loved Algernon, Jack, Gwendoline and Cecily, as town and country clash in a brilliant and wildly funny story of romance, identity, perambulators and capacious handbags.
