The Pantaloons return to the Festival, after delighting our Roman Theatre audiences with Robin Hood in 2024 (sell-out), The Comedy of Errors and Alice in Wonderland in 2023, The War of the Worlds in 2022, The Wind in the Willows in 2021, and The Importance of Being Earnest in 2020…
Everybody loves Ernest. In fact, Cecily and Gwendolen are both engaged to Ernest. The only trouble is, he doesn’t exist. Or does he…
Best friends Jack and Algy have both created alter-egos to win the affections of their beloveds; but when will they stop being Ernest and start being, well, earnest?
Wilde’s comic masterpiece gets The Pantaloons treatment in their anarchic take on the classic comedy of manners.
This energetic and musical production from the critically-acclaimed company infuses Wilde’s witty words with snappy new songs and frantically funny physical theatre to give this perennially popular play a hilarious contemporary twist!
