A great favourite - a farcical, elegantly written comedy which secured Wilde's reputation forever.
The play's title serves a double function, referring to both the importance of honesty and truthfulness in human relations and to the fact that two men are displaying anything but those virtues when they commandeer the name Ernest as a pseudonym to advance their own romantic causes.

​
A scathing and very witty examination of the public and private lives of so-called "cultural icons".
". "Sister George" is a beloved character on a popular BBC soap opera, a cheerful nurse who bicycles about the countryside singing hymns and doing good.
In private life, June Buckridge, the actress, is a swaggering, foul-mouthed, alcoholic lesbian in a long-term relationship with waifish Alice "Childie" McNaught. Due to low ratings, cutbacks and June's own bad behaviour, the BBC decides to "kill Sister George" on the series. A visit from Miss Mercy Croft, a no-nonsense network executive bearing the bad news, sends June into meltdown.

A deeply-moving, mystical yet hilarious play in which the socially-inept Felix, a Cambridge research fellow, returns to his Cotswold family home after his father’s death to find that his mother, the appalling Flora, has disposed of all his father’s belongings, including his bees, and is contemplating re-marriage.
But what does string theory and the behaviour of bees have to do with all of this?
