Inspired by the Oscar Wilde classic, audiences at ...Earnest? could end up becoming the stars of the show when it heads to the Everyman Theatre Cheltenham in June 2025.

Interactive theatre company Say It Again, Sorry? is heading to the Everyman Theatre with its Oscar Wilde-inspired Edinburgh Fringe smash hit ...Earnest?  this June 2025.

Coming to Cheltenham on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 June 2025, ahead of its eagerly awaited West End run, comedy fans can expect a show that's filled with wicked Wildean wit and bursting with Bunburying.

When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play The Importance of Being Earnest gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan… until the actor playing Ernest fails to arrive on cue.

Chaos erupts as the theatre company chooses an audience member to jump up on stage and save the show.

Guaranteed to have you laughing whether you’re watching from the audience or up on the stage, this one-of-a-kind, different-every-night show, features a wacky variety of impromptu games and spontaneous solutions as the desperate director tries to keep the production going. 

But with props being swapped, off-the-cuff auditions and more audience members being drafted in to replace an ever-thinning cast, there’s just no telling what will happen during this unique version of one of literature's most famous plays.
