The Importance of Being Earnest

An excellent show by a talented young cast. And for those who complain the fringe is becoming unaffordable, all for the price of one festival pint! Highly recommended.

Probably just the one chance left to see this now, so don't miss out on the treat of the Festival! An excellent cast of talented young actors at the top of their game with one of the finest scripts ever written.
An absolute winner.

I thoroughly recommend seeing this fantastic show! The production, talented cast and atmospheric venue made for an incredibly enjoyable hour. It was so funny we laughed from beginning to end. The entire cast brought a great energy to the stage, perfectly capturing the humour and timing of Wilde's classic. Highlights for me included Lady Bracknell's memorable 'handbaaaaggg' moment and the brilliant comedic chemistry between Jack & Algy, culminating in my favourite moment of the show - their hilarious, and very tuneful, ukulele duet!

This is a charming and brilliantly directed version of a classic comedy - Wildean dialogue requires impeccable comic timing, and the young cast manage the complex text with aplomb. Kate Woodman is an wonderfully dippy Cecily, whilst Ed Pickersgill and Dom Inglis-Jones make a fabulous comic double-act as Jack and Algie. I particularly enjoyed their sonorous serenade to their lady-loves, accompanied on ukuleles! Many of the best lines, of course, belong to Lady Bracknell, played by Laurie Morgan in a towering pink wig, who delivered them with a venom that would make Edith Evans proud. There are only two shows left, but try to catch it if you can!

An absolute treat of a show in every way! Bravo Conduit productions

What a fantastic show - I had never seen this classic farce before so imagine my good fortune to see it for the first time so incredibly performed by such an engaging and assured cast in a fantastically intimate venue. A really entertaining way to spend an afternoon and an easy recommendation to catch them this weekend whilst you still can

This is a must see show! A brilliant adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play by a group of very talented young actors. Extremely well staged in an intimate space, immersing the audience into the play. Wonderfully funny, would highly recommend. Bravo!

Love every moment of it! The acting was incredible and there were countless laugh out loud moments

Awesome show, very funny and clever, all the actors were great!

What a stand-out show this is! Brilliantly acted with perfect comic timing, and the infamous "Handbag" line delivered in a way which makes your hair stand on end! Very effective staging, superb pacing and a real understanding of Wilde's comic masterpiece. It deserves all the stars that can be thrown at it. Don't miss it!

You might think that there was nothing new that could be brought to The Importance of Being Earnest after so many years. Conduit Productions prove you wrong. Taking one of Wilde's most expansive works and cramming it on to a stage barely bigger than the lost property office at Victoria Station is a real feat of staging and indeed choreography.

Dom Inglis-Jones and Ed Pickersgill are a fine double act as Algernon and John, the former's ability to act with his mouth full being quite something to behold. Frankie Field is a wonderfully entertaining Gwendolen and Kate Woodman a coquettish Cecily. Hugh Mackinnon doubles up excellently as both Algernon's valet Lane and the vicar Dr Chasuble, whilst Eleanor Keulemans provides the requisite gravitas as the governess Miss Prism.

The star of any performance of this show is, of course, Lady Bracknell. Here L Morgan does not disappoint, indeed it is a genuine tour de force, with the most famous lines milked superbly.

This is possibly the most intimate, close-up performance of this show that you will ever see. All serious persons should definitely see it - and trivial ones should, too.

Brilliant show, very professionally done and all the acting is top,
particularly Eleanor Keulemans as Miss Prism.

So so funny. Delightful nonsense brilliantly managed and performed . Fab.

This show is the most I have ever laughed at a play. It earns five stars in script, acting, production and chaos. Make this one you see at EdFringe this year!

Well what isn’t there to like !! A hilarious version of this well known comedy including (willing) audience participants/ victims. Very well done and superb fun

Hilarious! Laughed so hard my cheeks hurt! The actors do a fabulous job incorporating audience members into the cast. Just plain fun!

It's really funny. See it. It takes a lot of acting chops to have the foppish, overacting characters these pros portray create belly laughs throughout an audience. Such is the nature of this sendup of of The Importance of Being Earnest. When the pros on stage look like they're having fun their vibe becomes infectious. This is an audience participation show and I would think it takes an inordinate amount of skill to incorporate the audience members who find themselves in ridiculous situations. Sometimes these folks are aided by the Director or cast members. However, with sadistic glee I would hope, other times these folks are left dangling out on a limb or scolded...or worse! No. Really. Nobody is abused. At the show we saw EVERYBODY, especially the audience volunteers, had a great time making all of us in the audience guffaw, chortle and laugh til our sides hurt. Go. See.
