Written by Oscar Wilde
Reimagined by Nick Sample

Set in the present day, this will be a deliciously entertaining, updated staging of one of the best comedies ever written...

"Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone."

What happens when two pretty girls both fall in love with men they believe to be called Ernest? Will they learn that a rose by any other name still smells as sweet?

Bachelor Jack Worthing and his best mate Algernon Moncrieff hope to Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. But the lads' courtship of the women is far from straight forward!

With double identities, plenty of 'Bunburying' and a number of hostile encounters with the formidable Lady Bracknell, the pair become embroiled in a web of mistaken identities with hilarious consequences.

As funny and as relevant today as when it was first written!
