Jack wants to marry Gwendolen, but there are two obstacles: her mother who is a ‘Gorgon’... and Gwendolen’s ideal ‘to love someone of the name of Ernest’ ... Meanwhile, with the discovery that Jack has ‘an excessively pretty ward, who is only just eighteen’, his friend Algy sees the perfect opportunity for some Bunburying at Jack’s place in the country!
These are the ingredients for Oscar Wilde’s most witty confection: lost babies, lost luggage, lost relations – all enhanced by equally witty music by Monica Shallis.
The performance will be in the grounds of Poltimore House...
