Theatre: The Importance of Being Earnest
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at The Garrick Theatre in Stockport. Tonight we see with The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde’s trademark wit and masterful storytelling are at the heart of this hilarious comedy of manners about misbehaving in a manor.
'The truth is rarely pure and never simple' Jack Worthing lives a double life between his idyllic manor in the country and his stylish town house in the capital. To those who know Jack in the countryside, he is the epitome of respectfulness, devoted to providing a sound upbringing for his ward Cecily and often rushing into London to look after his wayward brother Ernest. To those who Jack entertains in the city, he is known as Ernest: an indulgent bachelor who loves nothing more than doing nothing, often accompanied by his mischievous friend Algernon. It is a secret to nearly everyone that Ernest doesn’t actually exist! When a marriage proposal sets a sequence of ridiculous events in motion, Jack’s past threatens to catch up with him.

The Garrick Theatre is situated on Exchange Street, just off the main A6 in Stockport, opposite the Post Office Sorting Office. If you drive down Exchange Street, with the theatre on your right, immediately behind the theatre there is a large free car-park. It will state that it is ‘private’ as during the day it is used for office workers, but in the evening patrons to the Garrick Theatre are allowed to park there. If you get to the end of Exchange Street, which ends in a T junction with the bus station opposite, then you have gone too far and missed the car park. The bus and Railway stations are both near-by too.
