Anybody turning up at the Gatehouse expecting to see a conventional version of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance Of Being Earnest is in for a bit of a surprise.

His non-appearance sees the situation quickly descend into chaos, with the company desperately needing the audience’s assistance as they battle to get the performance back on track...
