Hide AdAs both of the men seem to have other first names, the confusion begins. All of this is compounded by the fact that Jack seems to have been left in a handbag at Victoria station and therefore can claim not to have any parents at all.
Director, Rob Kendall said: “Put simply it is a terrific play that has a gentle poke at the aspirational upper middle class society and how they should behave to each other.”
Masque’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest runs at 7.30pm at the Clare Street venue. Tickets are £9 for adults and £8 for concessions. To book call 07586 288793 or visit www.masquetheatre.co.uk.
