Aldeburgh Summer Theatre – The Importance of Being Earnest
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall
20th July to 26th July 2026
Described by the author as, “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People”, Wilde’s genre-crossing masterpiece of Romcom meets Satire has everything. Starting with lightest-touch, highbrow wit, it moves through thwarted romance to true love, by way of mistaken-identity impostor-farce.
Chosen as ACT’s tribute production to the life and work of our late patron, Jill Freud, it embodies her wise advice, “comedies are twice as funny when they have a big heart”.
Running time approximately 2hrs with interval.
Tickets £18 or £24 depending on location.
Evenings Monday to Saturday at 7:30pm and Matinees at 4pm on Thursdays and Saturdays.
