Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" follows Jack Worthing, a hopeless young man who has invented a fictional younger brother named "Earnest" so that he can be free of his responsibilities whilst in London. His best friend and secret Bunbryist, Algernon, suspects something and when Jacks engagement to Gwendolyn relies on her love of the name Earnest it all may come crumbling down.

What will young Cecily think of her new vistor? Is Dr Chausible really courting bees? And where is that bloody handbag?!!?

Come and enjoy this camp farce and find out for yourself the vital importance of being earnest...
