The Importance of Being Earnest
A bold, imaginative and surprising jazz musical remix of Oscar Wilde’s “trivial comedy for serious people”. Jack loves Gwendolen, Algernon loves Cecily, but both of them are engaged to the roguish Ernest - much to the disapproval of the formidable Lady Bracknell. The only problem is that Ernest doesn’t actually exist and - when his true identity is revealed - being “earnest” takes on a whole new meaning… Mistaken identity and romance collide with cucumber sandwiches and a handbag
