The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of
Being Earnest

ALL SHOWS PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN

24 JULY – 13 AUGUST, NEW SPIRE ARTS & HIDDEN HILLS WINERY

This summer, see Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest in this chaotic and hilarious new production.

Status, deception and passion collide as two young men assume the name Ernest while wooing two young women.

Step into a world of Victorian manners and witty repartee, where worldliness and fashion mingle with love and devotion.

One of the greatest comedies ever written, The Importance of Being Earnest is an uproariously funny comedy-of-manners that celebrates the absurdity of humans and the frequent illogicality of conversation.

‘The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I’ll certainly try to forget the fact.’
