The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
The Queen’s English Theatre CompanyIt’s Back! A fast-moving, outrageous and modern take on Oscar Wilde’s master-piece.
Tickets for this show exclusively sold at Qetc.nl.
QETC’s modern-day production of Wilde’s definitive comedy of manners was 100% sold here last year. So it’s back! This show features male actors in the seven principal roles plus a talented male and female supporting cast.
Famed as much for Lady Bracknell’s one-liners and rich dialogue as for its exquisite and witty storyline, The Importance of Being Earnest has delighted millions since it’s first London performance in 1895. Jack’s alter-ego Ernest, allows him to escape his life in the country to live the London high-life. When wily seducer Algernon discovers his deception, he is inspired to impersonate Ernest himself. Both masquerade as Ernest to pursue their respective love interests.
The result - a gay and wildly funny story of romance, identity and handbags. QETC’s brand new, all-male interpretation guarantees you an evening of outrageous, contemporary comedy whilst remaining true to the wit, character and very nature of Oscar Wilde himself. Sponsored by NZ Sauna, Amsterdam.
