The Importance of Being Earnest
The 3-time Edinburgh Fringe season sell-out finally returns to Melbourne in all its disrespectful glory. An outrageous tour-de-farce as three talent-deprived thespians attempt the impossible in staging Mr Wilde’s classic in a frantic 50-minute lovey fest. Good taste and political correctness fly out the window as they take on the ubertheatricals in an all-out assault on those more talented. It’s the campest, tackiest show you’ll see this year; a bitingly funny over-the-top comedy that sticks it right up the theatrical fundamentals. More rampage than homage. Oscar will be spinning in his grave! Written by Steven Dawson with little bits of Oscar Wilde!
