The Importance of Being Earnest Tickets

Political correctness has got in the way of a great play, Also, the production is pretty basic.

We loved this show. It was very entertaining and funny with an excellent cast. I would definitely recommend a visit.

One of the mist enjoyable evening’s entertainment we’ve had for a long while. Algie was superb, so expressive!

Great acting but all a little bit oder the top!

A new and interesting production. Lovely actors and a nice setting.

A complete travesty of Wilde's play which manages to convert one of the funniest plays ever written into an embarrassing freakshow in which the audience missed more than half the jokes. Earnest is a brilliantly written comedy of manners requiring capable actors endowed with a strong sense of timing. In this production, the leading male roles are played by a pair with no acting ability and no sense of timing. Or maybe that simply reflects how they were directed (I suspect a combination of both.) Fry did manage to get some laughs because he at least has an excellent sense of timing and is a capable actor. Oddly enough the role of Prism and Chasuble were also well performed and, together with Fry, their competent performances made the rest of the cast/performance look even worse. The interesting question is how this travesty of a production was created: the likely culprit is the contemporary desire to stress Wild's role as a Gay Icon. Wilde was a gifted man, an affectionate father and a good friend with a questionable passion for sodomizing underage working class rentboys. A considerable - though not a great - talent. If anyone wants to honor his memory they can best do it by treating his best play with respect and attempt the kind of production that he would hmself have wanted.

Really an enjoyable performance, respectful of Wilde's play and also providing some more hints to reflect on. All actors were wonderful in their roles. A special performance to honour the death of Tom Stoppard and to celebrate the 125th death's anniversary of out beloved and still living Oscar Wilde.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing

Sadly the worst production of this play I have ever seen. I didn’t think it possible to make ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ unfunny, but this production ruined all the funny lines- with the exception of Stephen Fry, who was good, as were Dr. Chasuble and Miss Prism. Otherwise my party and I would have walked out. I was sad to see a truly amusing comedy completely ruined.

Exquisitely bonkers. Loved it!

Excellent entertainment - some tinkering at the edges of Wilde’s masterpiece - a vibrant production. What can be done to keep West End Theatre ticket prices affordable?
