Brisbane Powerhouse and Ridiculusmus Theatre Company presents

The Importance of Being Earnest

Wed 11 - Sun 15 Feb 09

To celebrate the Brisbane premiere of Ridiculusmus performances Tough Time Nice Time and The Importance of Being Earnest, we’re giving you the opportunity to buy to both shows for just $60 (a saving of $18). Simply call Box Office on 07 3358 8600 to arrange this package before 5pm Wed 11 February 2009.

'Masters of comic invention' Ridiculusmus bring their unique brand of seriously funny theatre to Wilde's great comedy of manners.

Following highly successful seasons in the UK, Australia and the US, David Woods and Jon Haynes continue to tour their unconventional twist on this theatrical classic.

Giving the great dames of World Theatre a run for their money, the award winning duo ‘offer a jaw-dropping portrayal of the entire cast’ in a theatrical tour-de-force that captures the essence of Wildes ‘play’ in the most gloriously hedonistic sense of the word.

With the immortal line ‘a handbag’ up for grabs’, this glorious subversion of Wilde's masterpiece will delight both die hard Wilde and Ridiculusmus fans and those new to their work.

There is only one thing that is certain, and that is that we can guarantee you will never have seen an Earnest quite like this before.

"Ridiculusmus are still one of our most refreshingly provocative theatre companies." Time Out London
