"The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means" - The Importance of Being Earnest at The Actors' Church.
The production, led by veteran Mark Beer, celebrates its transfer from last years acclaimed
run at the Chelsea Theatre. The show features an integrated cast of actors with disabilities both visible and invisible. Oscar Wilde’s classic satirical tale tackles Victorian society’s
obsession with social status, marriage, and superficiality. A charming, funny, tongue-in-
cheek adaption that speaks to society now almost as much as when it was written in the
1890’s!
