Member Reviews (3)
See it if You want to see great acting, support an independent theatre company with great actors, amazing scenography, all in a more intimate theatre
Don't see it if You might struggle to listen as they can speak really fast
See it if You enjoy the fantastic Oscar Wilde text, staged through the lens of the experiences and presence of people of colour both then and now.
Don't see it if The language is unaltered from the original, so it may be difficult to follow the complicated wordplay if English isn't a first language.
See it if I loved the acting and the contemporary additions to the play. It was witty and I loved the great values given to the Black Victorians.
Don't see it if I loved all of it.

" Endlessly playful and hilariously funny, this 'The Importance of Being Earnest' has been adapted so well, you barely notice there’s anything different. Instead, just like that pair of slippers, it’s just as comforting as it’s always been.

“It is the cast themselves that make this play such a joy to watch. Indeed, there was no weak link in the play and the cast delivered the farcical scenes with energy and charisma. “

" I found myself, along with the rest of the audience laughing and smiling throughout. The standing ovation the production received is testament to what an enjoyable night at the theatre this production is."
