OSCAR Wilde’s cherished ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ is to tour the UK this Spring – but not quite as you may know it.
The hilarious, two man reimagining of the classic will visit over 20 beautiful venues across the country including a performance in Somerset at Glastonbury Town Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday, May 24.
Split Second Productions are putting their “ingenious”
spin on Oscar Wilde’s great British classic with this two-man rewiring of the play, featuring two actors, every character and a lot of hats.
One of the nation’s funniest plays, the “exhilarating” Split Second Productions is making its unique mark with their “ingenious” re-telling of the story where two actors will play every single character.
Rapid quick-changes, tap dancing, fabulous frocks and enough tea to sink a ship, audiences are in for a wildly waggish time.
It’s Oscar Wilde’s classic as you’ve never seen it before!
The riotous tour will stop at manor houses, town halls and castles around the UK, performing in some of the most exquisite drawing rooms and great halls that this country has to offer.
Bryan Hodgson – the writer and creator of this adaptation will co-direct the show.
Alongside him is Jaq Bessell, who has worked across Europe and in New York.
Tickets cost £15- £20 and buy online at splitsecondproductions.com
