The Importance of Being Earnest

Two men, neither named Earnest, court young ladies determined to marry only a man of that name! Wilde’s brilliantly funny and incisive comedy, sparkling with witty and memorable dialogue, presents a lunatic world where values are turned upside down and the trivial is elevated to supreme importance. Who did eat the last cucumber sandwich? Whose dead brother turns up for lunch? And who was that baby left in a railway station locker in a handbag? Towering over the chaos, is the terrifying figure of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell: “she’s a monster, without being a myth...which is rather unfair...” Following the statewide success of their ‘hilarious’ interpretation of Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, Bare Naked and Class Act Theatre companies present one of the world’s favourite comedies. 3 Perth shows only! Fri 28 Aug 8pm and Sat 29 Aug 2pm & 8pm BOTH PLAYS are directed by Stephen Lee and performed by Craig Williams, Ben Russell, Rhoda Lopez, Angelique Malcolm, Stephen Lee, Dan Luxton and Whitney Richards.
