The Importance Of Being… Earnest? With An Interactive Twist! ‘The Importance of Being… Earnest?’ will play MAST May ower Studios, in Southampton early next year, with a wildly interactive twist on this classic comedy by making audience members the true stars of the show! e play’s debut UK tour has a cast that includes the cream of the crop of UK improv including Lucy Trodd (a founding member of Olivier Awardwinning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical), Amy Cooke-Hodgeson, (a founding member of award-winning comedy hit Austentatious, who has starred in multiple UK tours, Edinburgh Fringe runs and on BBC Radio 4’s recording of the show) and Tom Bulpett (who starred in The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess eatre in the West End). In this riotous twist on a much-loved classic the show opens to looming disaster; the actor playing Ernest in Oscar Wilde’s famed farce fails to arrive on cue. In a monumental e ort to ‘save the show’, a real audience member is quickly cast in the lead role. But this impetuous recasting sets o a hilarious chain of events that, one-by-one, renders the rest of the cast unable to continue their performances. As more audience members are encouraged to step into the spotlight, led backstage for costume and make-up, impromptu auditions, the painting of portraits, the chanting of mantras; doing whatever’s needed to help the show go on, an absurd controlled madness ensues – until it feels as if there are almost as many audience members in the cast as there are in the... audience. is is a comedic masterpiece of meticulous logistics, meritoriously involved audiences and masterful stage management. The Importance of Being... Earnest? Is an exciting and hilarious experience both to watch and be part of as the innovative format creates an unexpected new experience every night. It’s a show for anyone who has enjoyed the high-jinx of The Play That Goes Wrong and Austentatious. Developed alongside the company’s agship open-rehearsal initiative, where audiences are invited into the rehearsal room to participate in the creative process, the show is written by Josh King, Simon Paris and Say It Again, Sorry?, and is directed by Simon Paris. e company’s vision is for the public to recover ownership over their own creative power and contribute to the future of theatre as active participants, collaborators, and decision-makers. eir aim is to connect people to their inner artist and inspire creative expression in everybody. The Importance of Being... Earnest? runs from Thursday 18th January to Saturday 20th January for more information and tickets visit: www.may owerstudios.org.uk/ what-s-on/the-importance-of-beingearnest-2023/
