AFTER a successful Edinburgh Fringe run in 2022 and previous London Fringe theatre success, the hugely popular ‘The Importance of Being… Earnest?’ is coming to St Helens Theatre Royal next week.
The showing on Sunday, May 26 2024 is a riotous twist on a much-loved classic and opens to looming disaster; the actor playing Ernest in Oscar Wilde’s famed farce fails to arrive on cue.
In a monumental effort to ‘save the show’, a real audience member is quickly cast in the lead role.
But this impetuous recasting sets off a hilarious chain of events that, one-by-one, renders the rest of the cast unable to continue their performances.
The company’s vision is for the public to recover ownership over their own creative power and contribute to the future of theatre as active participants, collaborators, and decision-makers. Their aim is to connect people to their inner artist and inspire creative expression in everybody.
