[title]Experience a captivating blend of wit, flamboyance and sheer delight at Sydney Theatre Company’s sensational new production of The Importance of Being Earnest. Widely regarded as one of the greatest theatrical comedies ever written, this 'trivial comedy for serious people' (as described by playwright Oscar Wilde himself) brings all the laughs along with over-the-top costumes that are worthy of a standing ovation alone. You can catch this comedic gem on stage at Roslyn Packer Theatre until October 14, with tickets starting at just $65.
Award-winning director and comedy virtuoso, Sarah Giles, has assembled a brilliant creative team including some of the country’s most celebrated theatre-makers, bringing a contemporary sensibility and a healthy dollop of irreverence to this timeless script. With dazzling period costumes and spectacular set design, Wilde’s world of upper-crust playboys, stuffy Victorian etiquette and extraordinary excess comes to vivid life.
It may be almost 130 years after the script was originally penned, but Wilde's one-liners are as devastating as ever. In the hands of a cast of Australian stage and screen legends including the fabulous Helen Thomson (Elvis, Bad Mothers, Blue Heelers), The Importance of Being Earnest is a night of hilarity that’s sure to have you in stitches.
You can watch it on stage as part of Sydney Theatre Company’s 2023 season with tickets from $65-$123. Get yours here.
