Say It Again, Sorry? presents …Earnest?, a one-of-a-kind, different-every-night comedy sensation, perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off!
When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan… that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue and an actual audience member is chosen to star in the show.
What follows is a madcap medley of impromptu games and spontaneous solutions as Simon Slough, the desperate director, does his best to keep this faithful production going with an unwitting amateur at the helm. But with stage whiskey being swapped, off-the-cuff auditions being held, and muffins being eaten (no matter what state they’re in), there’s just no telling what this version of Earnest is going to throw up. Especially when more audience members are drafted in to replace an ever-thinning cast…
With the script ripped up and rewritten, can the show reach its fabulous finale, just as Oscar Wilde intended? Well, you’ll have to see for yourself, because with a cast made up of members of the public, this show is completely different, completely chaotic, and completely Wilde every single night.
And who knows, you might even become a star yourself in this totally unique comedy, guaranteed to have you laughing whether you’re sitting in the audience… or performing onstage.
