Radical Revival Of Comedy, The Importance Of Being Earnest, Comes To The Liverpool Playhouse This Month.

A radical revival of Oscar Wilde’s comedy The Importance of Being Earnest visits the LiverpoolPlayhouse from Tuesday 11th to Saturday 15th October. Created by English Touring Theatre, Director Denzel Westley-Sanderson busts the myth that Black history started with migrants coming down the Windrush’s gangplank, and instead employs wealthy Black Victorians to reinvent this eternally witty study of manners and the corrosive nature of rigid societal conventions.

Winner of the 2021 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award, Denzel breaths fresh energy into this tale of dysfunctional families, class, gender, and sexuality.

It is all about being true to yourself, even when pretending to be someone else; if you can master that illusion then those around you will only see what you wish them to see, they will see the truth in the elaborate pretence and relish the opportunity to feel the sincere and intense emotions that it brings up; there is nothing better than understanding The Importance of Being Earnest as being part of life’s beautiful farce.
