Cheltenham audiences are in for a theatrical treat later this month.

Gloucester-based Rain or Shine Theatre Company are presenting The Importance of Being Earnest at Cheltenham Playhouse from Friday, May 31 - Saturday, June 1.

When two Victorian gentlemen assume the name of 'Earnest' to win the affections of two ladies, both determined to marry a man of that name, the scene is set.

Get ready for an evening of hilarious confusion in a world of handbags, perambulators, cucumber sandwiches, muffins, butlers, the English upper class, and of course, that theatrical tour de force - Lady Bracknell!, and witness the comical confusion of Oscar Wilde's hilarious masterpiece!

The company has received five-star ratings from dozens of reviewers for its previous productions.
