Theatre finally makes an uproarious return to The Platform in the hilarious hijinks of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy of manners, The Importance of Being Earnest.
‘Frenemies’ Jack and Algernon cause utter chaos in the pursuit of romance under the withering gaze of the infamously imposing Lady Bracknell in this production, on for one night, and one night only, on Saturday 19th July.
The Importance of Being Earnest will be presented by Lancaster’s Three Left Feet, a theatre and events company who have recently been named as associate artists of the Dukes Theatre.
Three Left Feet have previously made their mark locally with outdoor productions of Twelfth Night, The Wind in the Willows and Treasure Island in Lancaster’s Williamson Park, as well as working in new and unusual spaces such as a production of A Christmas Carol in a bookshop, A Fisherman’s Tale beneath Luke Jerram’s Gaia exhibit, and last year’s The Magic Toyshop at Lancaster Castle.
Filled with Wilde’s signature humour, extravagant characters, and biting commentary, this production of The Importance of Being Earnest will leave you laughing out loud whether you’re a bonafide fan of Wilde or totally new to his timeless comedy. This production is a delightful reminder that in both love and life, the most important thing is… being earnest.
There will be two performances of The Importance of Being Earnest, a matinee at 2pm and and evening showing at 7pm. The show runs for approximately 3 hours including an interval. Tickets are available online through the Platform’s event listings: https://www.universe.com/tiobe2025 or via their box office: 01524 582803 and are priced at £22.
There will also be another chance to catch the production this year on Sunday 7th September at Greystoke Castle in Penrith: https://www.greystokecastle.co.uk/whats-on/
