The Importance Of Being Earnest A Lyric Theatre Production

Step into a world of wit, charm, and sheer hilarity as The Importance of Being Earnest takes centre stage at the Lyric Theatre. Widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies in the English language, Oscar Wilde’s sparkling masterpiece is a riotous satire of Victorian manners, packed with razor-sharp dialogue, tangled romances, and plenty of mistaken identities.

Follow the mischievous Jack and Algernon as they navigate secret identities, meddling aunts, and scandalously misplaced handbags, all in the pursuit of love and social standing. But as their carefully crafted lies unravel, chaos reigns—leading to revelations as uproarious as they are unexpected.

This vibrant new production brings Wilde’s iconic characters and unforgettable one-liners to life, offering a fresh take on a play that continues to captivate audiences over a century after its debut.
