The Importance of Being Earnest

by Oscar Wilde

​

9-26 February â€‹2020
​
Director: Ellis Ebell

Production Coordinator: Maria Haughey

​

The spirit of Oscar Wilde returns to the WLT stage in the most famous of Wilde’s plays. The play itself needs no introduction: it has been described as ‘a trivial comedy for serious people’.

​

Although this classic was first performed in 1895, its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make it one of the most performed and enduring of Wilde’s plays.

​

It has been performed by almost every theatre company worldwide, with the role of Lady Bracknell being played by world famous actors. Our challenge is to give it ‘something different’!
