The Importance of Being... Earnest?

Venue: Darlington Hippodrome
Presented by Say It Again, Sorry? and written by Joshua King, Simon Paris and Say It Again, Sorry? Straight from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan… that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue. You might think you know this chaotic story of love, mistaken identity and double-lives, but you have never seen it like this before. Filled with wicked Wildean wit and bursting with Bunburying, join us for a hilarious and unpredictable twist on the world’s favourite comedy classic. ★★★★★ "A magical, once-in-a-lifetime ephemeral experience" Theatre Scotland ★★★★★ "A masterclass in comedic theatre" North West End UK ★★★★★ "Get this on the West End now, please!"
