Show Overview

This wonderful London Show was first performed in 1895 and it remains delightfully funny with its’ quirky Victorian characters and wonderful dialogue.

The play's humour revolves around social decorum, expectation and obligation. And about an imaginary hero called Ernest.

The very 'correct' Jack Worthington is in love with the very 'proper' Gwendolyn Fairfax and his friend, Algernon Moncrieff is in love with Cecily Cardew. The trouble is, both Gwendolyn and Cecily are in love with Ernest.

Gwendoline loves Ernest because of his name but his real name is in fact Jack and he was abandoned at a railway station as a baby.

Cecily is Jack’s ward and she loves ‘London Ernest’, Jack’s ‘imagined’ brother; a London sophisticated socialite.

Admist all the complications there is the fabulous and very imposing Lady Bracknell who is Gwendoline's mother.

Show Age Suitability

The Importance of Being Ernest is most suitable for an adult audience.
