The Importance of Being Earnest at Theatre Royale 13 - 16 May

Prior to a West End run, David Suchet will star as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's much loved masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest this spring.

Wilde's superb satire on Victorian manners is one of the funniest plays in the English language - the delightful repartee and hilarious piercing of hypocrisy and pomposity can still make you laugh out loud.

>>Tickets from £18.50
