During a signed performance a BSL and ISL interpreter stand at the side of the stage, clearly visible to the audience, and interpret the spoken word and sound effects for d/Deaf patrons.
Back by popular demand, The Importance of Being Earnest once again takes centre stage at the Lyric Theatre. Hailed as one of the greatest comedies ever written, Wilde’s dazzling satire of Victorian society is brimming with sharp wit, tangled romances, and delightfully absurd mistaken identities.
Follow Jack and Algernon as they flit between the glittering high life of London and the rustic calm of the countryside, where a seemingly quaint garden sets the stage for the most delicious chaos. With handbags misplaced, identities fabricated, and propriety turned on its head, the story spirals into comic mayhem.
At the heart of this sparkling production is a brilliant ensemble cast, bringing Wilde’s larger-than-life characters to vivid, hilarious effect. Together, they capture the razor-sharp wit and rhythm of a play that continues to dazzle more than a century after its debut.
Come along darlings, and join us for the garden party, everyone is talking about!
“A riot of the senses”
“Fay restores to Wilde that wild, subversive, fun filled energy”
“A sharp, modern twist on a classic”
