This show belongs to the Fringe2024 season. This season is now over.

The Importance of Being Wasted

The Importance of Being Wasted is Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy of manners with a twist… of lime, vodka (and maybe a dash of dirty bathtub moonshine), shaken, stirred and served well and truly on the rocks.

This intoxicating take on The Importance of Being Earnest will see half the cast get half cut before before delivering Wilde’s famously wordy witticisms.

Each performance features a different combination of trollied thespians trying to keep it together with the help of their sober fellow performers.

Get into high spirits as Act React puts the lit into literature with this Drunk Classic.
