Join us for a hilarious and witty journey into the world of mistaken identities and social satire at The Importance Of Being Earnest!
About this Event

Join us for Oscar Wilde's hilarious comedy about mistaken identities and secret engagements in "The Importance Of Being Earnest".

An evening of tomfoolery beholds anyone who attends this staged production of The Importance Of Being Earnest, the beloved comedy written by Oscar Wilde.

Set within Edinburgh's Georgian house, a beautiful historic, listed building we will take you through a tale of artistocracy, secrets, proposals and family charades.

Jack is Earnest in the town but Jack in the country, leading a double life, a true Bunbury, however his facade is about to fall apart. His double life has been discovered and his plans to marry sweetheart Gwendolen all rest upon two things: his name, and finding some parents.
