The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s most popular and enduring work opened in 1895, just as the scandal of Wilde’s affair with Lord Alfred Douglas was about to explode.

Wilde’s life and career were ruined, but his great play lives on, raising laughs when the Victorian society it mocks is a distant memory.

Tim will discuss how this brilliant play encapsulates and reveals Wilde’s personality, life and ethos.

Scarborough-born Tim Tubbs is an actor and musician, educated at Eton and Oxford, he was programming manager at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre.
