About this event
Two women, eight characters, three hundred and twenty-seven costume changes. Take a frivolous frolic into Oscar's wild play on the importance of identity, love, and cucumber sandwiches.

A night of fabulous, silly fun as two women make The Importance Of Being Earnest really fabulous, really silly, and really fun, all while discovering who is Ernest, really?

Rachel Alexander and Kathryn Bray are two Sydney actors and improvisers who, rather than share the limelight with six other castmates, prefer to spend the entire time on stage by themselves, playing all eight characters by themselves in a spectacular feat of physics and wardrobe wizardry.

With Wilde's bewitching wordplay, and a style guide of "Absolutely Fabulous meets Bridgerton", "it would be great if she had a lyrebird for a hat", and "more cucumbers"** - what results is a spectacle of dexterity, charm, wit, and faarshun not seen since The Beckham's Netflix Special. Without the Rolls Royce budget.

*No animals were harmed in the making of this show.
**Many cucumbers were harmed in the making of this show. Compost in peace.

"It is of nonsense all compact, and better nonsense, I think, our stage has not seen" - H.G. Wells The Speaker

"depravity is the hero and the only character" Sights and Spectacles

"What can a poor critic do with a play which raises no principle, whether of art or morals, creates its own canons and conventions, and is nothing but an absolutely wilful expression of an irrepressibly witty personality?" The World
