OVO's sparkling new production transports Oscar Wilde's comic masterpiece to the roaring 1920s, a world overflowing with style, glitz, and glamour. Featuring a talented cast of actor-musicians, a live on-stage band seamlessly threads jazz-styled contemporary chart hits (think RAYE, Madonna, Lizzo and Eminem) through Wilde's celebrated, razor-sharp dialogue.In this vibrant 1920s setting, the female characters also take the centre stage. Powered by agency and confidence, they are brought to life with refreshing strength. The traditional dynamics of the text shift delightfully, with relationships pioneered as much by female courtship as male.Combining drama, live music, and fabulous choreography, this is a brilliant hybrid of theatre that makes for a perfect summer evening under the stars in the spectacular setting of the open air Roman Theatre of Verulamium.The Importance of Being Earnest is a showcase of what OVO does best: reimagining classic plays in a bold new colour. Glittering, sharp, and beautifully mischievous, it's the summer party you won't want to miss.The Importance of Being Earnest runs from 3rd - 18th July as part of the Roman Theatre Open Air Festival 2026.
