A first look at the new revival of an Oscar Wilde classic!

Famed UK stage and screen star David Suchet headlines a brand new West End revival of Oscar Wilde's celebrated comedy THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST and a new video promo for the production is now available to view.

The official description of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is as follows: "Don't miss national treasure and Poirot star David Suchet as the formidable Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's much loved masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest, which comes to the Vaudeville Theatre London for a strictly limited season from 24 June 2015. Directed by Adrian Noble, (Amadeus, The King's Speech, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) Wilde's superb satire on Victorian manners is one of the funniest plays in the English language - the delightful repartee and hilarious piercing of hypocrisy and pomposity can still make you laugh out loud. Two bachelor friends, the adorable dandy Algernon Moncrieff (Philip Cumbus - regular player at Shakespeare's Globe) and the utterly reliable John Worthing J.P., (Downton Abbey's Michael Benz) lead double lives to court the attentions of the exquisitely desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax (Emily Barber) and Cecily Cardew (Imogen Doel). The gallants must then grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions, and with the formidable Lady Bracknell. Get your London tickets for this limited West End run now."
