The Importance Of Being Earnest Tickets 2026

Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity.

Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade. Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love.

Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.

Olly Alexander (It’s A Sin) plays Algernon Moncrieff in director Max Webster‘s (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s ‘glittering masterpiece’ (Telegraph), a hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.

The Importance Of Being Earnest transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre from September 2025 through to January 2026. Secure your seat by checking dates and ticket information via Stereoboard.
