About Say It Again, Sorry?
...Earnest? is an interactive comedy from Say It Again, Sorry? that takes Oscar Wilde's classic play as its starting point. When a traditional production of The Importance of Being Earnest gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan — until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue. What follows is a guaranteed comic unravelling. Performed at Udderbelly, running 70 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Audience participation is involved.
Why see this show?
If you enjoy the comedy of theatrical chaos — shows going wrong, actors improvising under pressure, plans collapsing in real time — this is exactly that, built around the delicious irony of Wilde's most polished play falling spectacularly apart.
