Outdoor Theatre: The Importance of Being Earnest
Tethered Wits theatre group bring a classic to Greyfriars walled garden on the 16th August.
- Booking essential
Tethered Wits Academy presents a timeless tale of identity, wit and cucumber sandwiches: The Importance of Being Earnest.
Upper class bachelors, the well-meaning John Worthing and playboy Algernon Moncrieff, create different identities for themselves to pursue two wonderfully eligible ladies, Cecily Cardew and Gwendolyn Fairfax. However, their identity misadventures lead to twists and turns in their tumultuous romantic journeys, all under the watchful eye of the inimitable Lady Bracknell.
Oscar Wilde’s legendary satirical comedy is a modern classic, dazzlingly brought to life in a stunning open-air setting.
