Robin & Jane In The Stalls Episode 58 - The Importance Of Being Earnest

Robin & Jane are back in the stalls — and this time they’ve been to see The Importance of Being Earnest at Belfast’s beautiful Lyric Theatre! In this latest episode of Robin & Jane In The Stalls, we dive into Oscar Wilde’s comic masterpiece — a razor-sharp satire of Victorian society packed with tangled romances, sparkling wordplay, and the most deliciously absurd cases of mistaken identity. From Jack and Algernon’s double lives between London high society and the countryside, to misplaced handbags and uproarious revelations, we’re unpacking: 🎩 Our thoughts on this fresh Lyric revival 😂 The performances that had us laughing the loudest 💐 Whether Wilde’s wit still hits in 2026 🎟️ Why this production (running until 22nd February) is worth your time With a brilliant ensemble cast breathing new life into Wilde’s larger-than-life characters, this is a production that proves Earnest remains one of the greatest comedies ever written.
