The story of one man’s quest to discover his true identity, marry the girl of his dreams and ideally avoid her mother, Earnest is a delicious comedy of manners, memorably adapted for the screen in both 1952 and 2002, says spokeswoman Eva Tayler.

“Sparkling wit, razor-sharp put-downs, possibly the only use in theatre of sugar lumps and fruit cake as weapons of revenge and, of course, The Handbag. Come prepared to giggle, guffaw and generally have a jolly good time!
