David Suchet stars as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s much loved masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest which comes to the Vaudeville Theatre for a strictly limited season.

Directed by Adrian Noble, 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.

In The Importance of Being Earnest, Two bachelor friends, the adorable dandy Algernon Moncrieff and the utterly reliable John Worthing J.P., lead double lives to court the attentions of the exquisitely desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. The gallants must then grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions, and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.

In addition to David Suchet, the cast of The Importance of Being Earnest includes  Emily Barber, Michael Benz, Philip Cumbus, Imogen Doel, Michele Dotrice and Richard O'Callaghan.

I was overcharged for our seats and shown on the seating plan that virtually all the seats were taken - this was untrue as there were plenty of unoccupied seats and I could have taken my pick The show was good

Excellent ! A fantastic production that Oscar Wilde would have loved

Malcolm Harding

An excellent play with a good level of humour. Five stars to all the actors, especially the four lesser known younger characters. David Suchet & Michelle Dotrice delivered as one would expect. A thoroughly entertaining afternoon.
