Funniest play ever written ? - be a shame to miss it

Cornwall’s Miracle Theatre’s productions are one of the highlights of the summer! Their witty and inventive performances take place against the extraordinary backdrops of our unique landscape.

On Saturday July 14th Miracle make a welcome return to Dorchester’s Maumbury Rings with a wonderful new interpretation of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy - The Importance of Being Earnest.

Set in the year 1912, with the Titanic sinking, mass production just beginning on the Morris Oxford and the Turkey Trot causing outrage across the dance floors of polite society, this tale of the strange contents of a handbag found at Victoria station has been subtly adapted to extract every drip of humour and contemporary relevance.

This ‘trivial comedy for serious people’ is a masterpiece of sharp wit and preposterous plotting. In this high energy production Miracle adds an extra dimension to ‘the funniest play ever written’.

Bring a picnic and enjoy great open-air theatre. Hot chocolate, teas and cakes from 6.30pm.
