...Earnest?

IT'S OSCAR WILDE, BUT YOU'RE IN IT!

When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play The Importance of Being Earnest gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan - that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue, and an audience member is chosen to star in the show.

Created by award-winning theatrical mavericks Say It Again, Sorry?, ... Earnest? is a one-of-a-kind, different-every-night comedy sensation, perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong, Noises Off and Showstoppers!
 
Winner of the prestigious Pick of the Fringe Award at the Adelaide Fringe 2026.
