Directed by Peter Hussey, this magnificent comedy of manners won two major awards from the UK National Student Drama Festival. Oscar Wilde satires a society that places undue importance on triviality while simultaneously trivialising the important matters in life. ‘Earnest’ - a Victorian euphemism for being gay reveals more of its gay-pride text – one of the many that affirmed the ‘importance of being earnest’ in a dangerous 19th century climate. An inventive production from the new perspective of one of the country’s critically acclaimed young performance companies.
