The Importance of Being Earnest will be brought to life in the grand Victorian setting of the beautiful Albert Halls, over in Bolton, in a fresh and vibrant new production directed by Suba Das, Artistic Director of HighTide Festival.

Bachelors and best friends Jack and Algernon create alter egos to escape their tiresome lives. However, when they both fall in love and attempt to win the hearts of two women, the pair become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure.

Exclusive offer for Creative Tourist Readers – £15 tickets for any performance.
