Event information

We're delighted to welcome the marvellous, madcap and crazily inventive Pantaloons Theatre Company back to Billericay to perform their own twist on the Oscar Wilde classic ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ in the Rectory Garden on Sunday 5 August 2018. Doors open at 4.00 pm, performance starts at 5.00 pm,

Everybody loves Ernest. Cecily and Gwendolen are both engaged to Ernest. The only trouble is, he doesn’t exist. Or does he?

Wilde’s comic masterpiece gets The Pantaloons treatment in their anarchic take on the classic comedy of manners. and a post-interval Hollywood-style recap! This energetic and musical production from the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons’ infuses Wilde’s witty words with snappy new songs and frantically funny physical theatre to give this perennially popular play a hilarious contemporary twist!

Both of their shows in 2017 (Pride & Prejudice and A Christmas Carol) were sell outs and we expect tickets for this event will sell very quickly - so don't delay.
