By Oscar Wilde

With Elizabeth Hawthorne • Lisa Chappell • Adam Gardiner • Laurel Devenie • Glen Pickering
Direction Colin McColl • Design John Parker, Tony Rabbit, Elizabeth Whiting

Under his suave exterior, Jack Worthing is all fluster and panic. He’s besotted with Gwendolen Fairfax, daughter of the shedragon of London society Lady Bracknell, and cousin of his friend Algernon. For his part, Algernon is very keen on Jack’s pretty young ward, Cecily.

But marriage is out of the question until the mystery of Jack’s parentage is solved. Just how did he come to be found in a handbag? And in a cloakroom at Victoria Station? And, of course, Lady Bracknell has no intention of giving her consent until she has established Jack’s creditworthiness!

One-hundred-odd years on from its spectacular debut, Oscar Wilde’s “trivial comedy for serious people” is as fresh and scintillating and subversive as ever.

#Concession — Under 25 years, full-time students and members of recognised entertainment industry associations
