Bangkok Community Theatre (BCT), with the generous support of Sweetchew, is staging a contemporary, gender and age blind reimagining of the classic Oscar Wilde play, The Importance of Being Earnest. This show will run for 5 shows from the 11-14th of June at The British Club, with one special preview show on June 10th featuring an alternate cast.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a play about the truth, or the lack thereof. And muffins.

Jack (Kate Prior) may be Jack in the country but when in town, he goes by the name of Ernest to court the object of his affection, Gwendolen (Severin Herbert). His terribly unserious friend, Algernon (Jessica Zaugg), is just as two-faced, using a lie to get close to Jack’s cousin, Cecily (John Clark). So when the truth comes knocking, and their performative lives are quite exploded, they begin to wonder if being Ernest might just be more trouble than it’s worth – especially when their paramours prove to be much more interested in the aesthetic of the lie.

Directed by Ricardo (Ric) Hizon with help from Nabila Malik, The Importance of Being Earnest by BCT is set to be a witty, high-energy twist on the classic and sure to leave you pondering the true importance of being Earnest.
