SERIOUSLY FUNNY SATIRE BY ONE OF THE GREATEST WITS OF ALL TIME

Experience Oscar Wilde's shining lesson in comedy performed in its entirety by two talented performers. All nine characters, performed all by themselves.

Don't miss the award winning comedy duo Ridiculusmus (David Woods and Jon Haynes) in their extraordinary version of The Importance of Being Earnest - a night of consummate performance and concentrated anarchy!

Theatre's most notorious aunt introduced by The Ride of the Valkyries, her head-banging virgin niece, and a tapestry-covered fridge (for the cucumber sandwiches) are just some of the absurdities in this hilarious revisiting of Oscar Wilde's most famous play.

This production performs to packed houses everywhere it goes. Wilde's play gleams with jewel-like clarity amidst the Ridiculusmus mayhem of virtuoso character turns and high-flying theatrical invention.

Devised & Edited by Jon Haynes, David Woods & Jude Kelly
