The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
September 18 - January 10, 2026
Oscar Wilde’s Dazzling Comedy Returns to the West End
The acclaimed production of The Importance of Being Earnest makes its West End transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre this autumn, in a distinguished co – production with Sonia Friedman Productions. Under the direction of Max Webster (Macbeth at the Donmar; Life of Pi), this vibrant and playful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s glittering classic (The Telegraph) offers a fresh take on a tale filled with wit, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements.
Enjoy this charming satire – particularly special to us at Hotel Café Royal, where the great Oscar Wilde himself was once a most distinguished guest.You might also enjoy...
