A Rose Original, ETT, and Leeds Playhouse production
Oscar Wilde's genius humour meets contemporary culture in a theatrical rollercoaster packed with shade, wit and plenty of gags.
2021 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award winner, Denzel Westley-Sanderson breathes fresh new life into Wilde's sharpest and wittiest comedy: The Importance of Being Earnest.
This is a classic satire, vibrantly retold about dysfunctional families, class, gender and sexuality.
