Handbags at dawn

12:53pm Friday 18th April 2008

THE Importance of Being Earnest arrives at Blackwood's Miners' Institute at the end of this month when the Mappa Mundi company return to town.

Their brand new production is of Oscar Wilde's most popular and razor witted of social comedies.

Jack and Algy are in love with Gwendolen and Cecily, who both believe themselves to be in love with the non-existent Ernest.

Add a handbag, an absent minded nanny and the fearsome Lady Bracknell into the wonderful lunacy and symmetry of the plot and you have the ultimate satirical farce.

The Importance of Being Earnest is at Blackwood's Miners' Institute for one night only on Tuesday, April 29,Êat 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £8.50 (with £7.50 concessions) and are available from the box office on 01495 227206.
