NEW VENTURE THEATRE, Brighton, BN1 2PT
Saturday 7th November 2026
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Ayshen Irfan
Known as "A Trivial Comedy for Serious People", NVT warms up November with Oscar Wilde's satirical and gloriously absurd comedy,
The Importance of Being Earnest.
Step into a sumptuous Victorian world of wit, romantic entanglements, and (breaking) social conventions, wherein Jack and Algernon lead
double lives, both adopting the name "Ernest" as they pursue the women they love.
With a fabulous cast, expect Wilde's celebrated repartee and farce as you experience the formidable Lady Bracknell, wicked Jack and Algy, and the delightfully eccentric Miss Prism. It's one not to miss!
