This famous Oscar Wilde work is a rightly-adored piece of farce that has stood both the test of time and countless dire amateur productions, rising unscathed to take its place at the very pinnacle of British comic theatre. The story revolves around the attempts of Jack to marry his true love Gwendolen, in spite of the fact that Algernon is masquerading as Jack’s wayward brother Earnest in order to see his exquisite ward, Cecily. Add the ingredient of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell, and there’s little wonder that disaster looms large on Jack’s horizon.
Lucy Bailey directs an all-star cast in this new production which features an all-star cast, including Rosalind Ayres, Niall Buggy, Patrick Godfrey, Nigel Havers, Martin Jarvis, Christine Kavanagh, Cherie Lunghi & Sian Phillips star...
The Importance Of Being Ernest shows at Birmingham's New Alexandra Theatre from Mon 20 - Sat 25 October and we've joined with the theatre to offer readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the opening night performance at 7.30pm
