Earnest?

Earnest? Arrives following rave reviews ahead of an eagerly awaited West End run. Coming to Glasgow’s King’s Theatre on 9th and 10th May 2025.

When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play gets underway. Everything seems to be going perfectly to plan. That is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue and an actual audience member is chosen to star in the show.

What follows is a madcap medley of impromptu games and spontaneous solutions. As the desperate director does his best to keep this faithful production going. But with stage whiskey being swapped. Off-the-cuff auditions being held and muffins being eaten (no matter what state they’re in). There’s just no telling what this unique version of The Importance of Being Earnest is going to throw up. Especially when more audience members are drafted in to replace an ever-thinning cast… With the script ripped up and rewritten, can the show reach its fabulous finale, just as Oscar Wilde intended?

This one-of-a-kind comedy sensation is completely different, completely chaotic, and completely Wilde every single night. And who knows, you might even become a star yourself! Guaranteed to have you laughing whether you’re sitting in the audience… or performing onstage …Earnest? is perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off!
