The Importance of Being Earnest

Seriously funny and deadly serious. Ridiculusmus are back with a new version of Oscar Wilde’s classic high-society comedy: The Importance of Being Earnest – A Trivial Comedy Performed by two Serious People. David Woods and Jon Haynes don’t know exactly what the show will be. They have copies of the text; they know there will be no great dames of the British theatre, no plush velvet seats and proscenium arches. They have decided that they will play all the parts in the show themselves (although there have been arguments about who gets to say the immortal line ‘a handbag?’). The rest will be coming together. Only one thing is guaranteed: You will never have seen an Importance like this before.
