The Importance of Being Earnest

An uproarious comedy performed by two serious people. This hysterically funny version of Oscar Wilde's play was first staged at Powerhouse in Brisbane, followed by its UK premiere at London’s Barbican and an international tour. Two live actors struggle to portray all seven characters and everything that can go wrong, does. Frantic costume changes, frilly skirts under chasubles, two glove puppets and a marble statue wearing the appropriate hat, bring tears of laughter and result in one of the most hilarious on-stage performances ever, which “must be seen to be believed.” (The Stage)
