The Importance of Being Earnest (2022)


  • Main Auditorium
  • 1 November 2022 - 12 November 2022
  • A Rose Original, ETT, and Leeds Playhouse production

Oscar Wilde's genius humour meets contemporary culture in a theatrical rollercoaster packed with shade, wit and plenty of gags.

2021 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award winner, Denzel Westley-Sanderson breathes fresh new life into Wilde's sharpest and wittiest comedy: The Importance of Being Earnest.

This is a classic satire, vibrantly retold about dysfunctional families, class, gender and sexuality.
