Set in the 1930’s, our production follows Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff as their attempts to cast aside social obligations through smoke and mirror land them in a series of mishaps and misunderstandings. The Oxford Rep Company is an Oxford University Alumni touring Shakespeare company originally formed as Gravedigger Productions in 2025. We are committed to presenting beautiful and timeless theatre in a range of historic spaces across the UK.
