Oscar Wilde's 'Trivial Comedy for Serious People' is considered the funniest in the English Language.
Ernest loves Gwendolen. Cecily loves Ernest. What could possibly go wrong?
Double lives and double standards abound in this masterpiece of satirical wisdom where Jack and Algernon, two young men looking for escape from social obligations, pretend to be something that they are not... Earnest.
Things start to go awry when they both practice their deceptions at Cecily's country house at the same time and the two young ladies fear themselves rivals for the hand of one man. To thwart matters further, the formidable Lady Bracknell won't even contemplate Gwendolen marrying someone who was discovered as an infant at a railway station cloakroom in a handbag!"
What can I say about this play, I laughed my socks off all the way through, a dream to photograph, the performances are spot on, stage design is brilliant!
It's on at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast until 7th July, students get 2 for 1 tickets on Wednesdays. Go and see it, you won't be disappointed!!
