A great favourite - a farcical, elegantly written comedy which secured Wilde's reputation forever.
The play's title serves a double function, referring to both the importance of honesty and truthfulness in human relations and to the fact that two men are displaying anything but those virtues when they commandeer the name Ernest as a pseudonym to advance their own romantic causes.

​
A deeply-moving, mystical yet hilarious play in which the socially-inept Felix, a Cambridge research fellow, returns to his Cotswold family home after his father’s death to find that his mother, the appalling Flora, has disposed of all his father’s belongings, including his bees, and is contemplating re-marriage.
But what does string theory and the behaviour of bees have to do with all of this?
