"You may have seen The Importance of Being Earnest before, but you’ve never seen it like this." ★★★★ CULTURAL BINGE

"A faultless, dazzling production" ★★★★★ SYDNEY ARTS GUIDE

"Director Sarah Giles takes inspiration from the furtive implications of Wilde’s writing, and gives meaningful amplification to the subtext that underscores Earnest, thereby imbuing the production with unexpected substantiveness. It seems Earnest always did contain consequential depth, but it takes someone of Giles’ calibre to help us perceive it." SUZY GOES SEE

"Beautiful to behold" ★★★★ THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
