…Earnest?
Newcastle Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Wednesday 7 – Thursday 8 May 2025
After delighting audiences across the country, the smash-hit interactive comedy …Earnest? from award-winning company Say It Again, Sorry? heads to Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre & Opera House this May. Expect a night of theatrical chaos, laughter, and unexpected stars – quite possibly including you!When the actor playing Ernest fails to make their entrance, Oscar Wilde’s beloved classic The Importance of Being Earnest takes a gloriously anarchic turn. With cast members dropping like flies, the audience is invited to step up, audition, and take their places in a riotous retelling like no other. Stage whiskey flows, portraits are painted, and improvisation reigns supreme in this madcap, quintessentially British farce.Written by Josh King, Simon Paris, and the company, and directed by Simon Paris, …Earnest? premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021, returning by popular demand for three consecutive years. Now extended into a full two-act show for its UK tour, the production has already seen almost 2,000 audience members swap their seats for the spotlight – with heartwarming and hilarious results. Past participants have found unexpected fame, new passions, and even love backstage!Director and co-writer Simon Paris said "We are very excited to bring ...Earnest? back to audiences across the country and share our unique blend of chaos, comedy, and heartfelt storytelling. This show celebrates the magic of live theatre- where anything can happen and often does. With its playful twists and interactive surprises, we invite audiences to step into a world where every moment is delightfully unpredictable."

As director Simon Paris puts it, "This show celebrates the magic of live theatre – where anything can happen, and often does."This is theatre at its most playful, unpredictable, and joyously human.
