Miracle Theatre Company Summer Tour

Wonderful Miracle Theatre are touring.  They will be at various venues throughout the South West  from June - August. 

The Importance of Being Earnest - Open-Air Tour 2012

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.

Oscar Wilde’s ‘trivial comedy for serious people’ is a masterpiece of sharp wit and preposterous plotting. Such ‘beautiful nonsense’ cries out for the sort of surreal treatment that has become Miracle’s hallmark. In this high energy production Miracle adds an extra dimension to ‘the funniest play ever written’.
