Carlton Theatre Group

Carlton Theatre Group returns to the New Wimbledon Studio with the Oscar Wilde classic The Importance of Being Earnest.

Jack: Gwendoline, it is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth. Can you forgive me?

Gwendoline: I can. For I feel that you are sure to change.

Two smart young men, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff are both leading double lives in town and country. When Algernon gate-crashes Jack’s country life, two romances are thrown into jeopardy. And how can such indignation be generated by a handbag?

A farcical satire on manners and morals with the brilliant polished humour for which Wilde is celebrated.
