I’m delighted to welcome the marvellous, madcap and crazily inventive Pantaloons Theatre Company back to Billericay to perform their own twist on the Oscar Wilde classic ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ in the Rectory Garden on Sunday 5 August 2018.
Everybody loves Ernest. Cecily and Gwendolen are both engaged to Ernest. The only trouble is, he doesn’t exist. Or does he?
Wilde’s comic masterpiece gets The Pantaloons treatment in their anarchic take on the classic comedy of manners and a post-interval Hollywood-style recap! This energetic and musical production from the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons’ infuses Wilde’s witty words with snappy new songs and frantically funny physical theatre to give this perennially popular play a hilarious contemporary twist!
“Wonderfully inventive … catching this touring show will feel like putting on a forgotten pair of slippers and finding them even more comfy than you recall.”
Rotherham Advertiser“So good you may laugh your Pantaloons off!”

There is also parking on the High Street or in the car park behind Iceland.
