This gem never fails to amuse and entertain and this production was one of the best. The entire cast excelled and the "unwritten" parts (glances, asides, facial expressions, the cute rendition of "An English Country Garden" by the butler etc.) added to the enjoyment. The jokes are not new, but such is the quality of Wilde's writing and the brilliance of the cast's delivery, each and every gag was met with honest laughter from an appreciative audience.

This is one of the best plays I've seen. Lines were delivered with perfect timing. Visual expressions were hilarious. Costumes were brilliant and at times outrageous. Algie (Rory Nolan) definitely stole the show.

While I admit the main reason I went to see this was because Stockard Channing was in it, the rest of the cast were amazing! I would highly recommend seeing this production.

The production was absolutely excellent. Sound, settings and comfort of theatre was outstanding. If I had one gripe it would be that I thought the performance of Stockard Channing was quite unemotional and stiff.

The acting was excellent. We enjoyed every moment. Particularly liked the comic timing between Algy and Jack, very believeable. It was amazing that just nine people could hold and fill the stage completely. We have been quoting lines and talking about the play all day. Still marvelling at Wildes writing skills, watching 'The Importance of being Ernest' made me realise yet again what a great writer and observer of people Oscar Wilde was.
We could not recommend enough to anyone wondering whether or not to go before the run ends to go, watch, laugh and enjoy.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. We had amazing seats and was pleased to see Stockard Channing in the play as I didn't know she'd be in it. Loved the whole play, laughed through out, was a great birthday present!

The Importance of Being Earnest with that wonderful American star Stockard Channing playing an altogether too good-looking Lady Baracknell was pitch perfect in the Gaiety last night. A marvelous troupe of actors gave their all and not one of Oscar's witticisms was lost. The writing is so good I always fear that the play might outshine the cast. But not in this production. Absolutely perfect. Well done all involved

Excellent production of Wilde's most witty work. Rory Nolan excellent as Algernon Moncrieff almost matched by Gemma Reeves as Cecily.
The costumes are stunning and the sets a talking point. Rough Magic have lived up to their great reputation with great wit and humour throughout.
Stockard Channing wasn't wonderful as she was too glam for the part for my taste.
I would recommend this to all - old and young alike.
Enjoy

I liked everything about The Importance of Being Earnest. The sets, dresses, make-up, hair styles, etc. Especially liked Jack's manservants hair. The acting was very excellent from all. Clear voices spoke Wilde's words. Great punchlines. Stockard Channing was fantastic.

Thought the actors were outstanding. Their timing and delivery of the hilarious script was excellent. All the parts were wonderfully cast, the sets and costumes were first class. I would highly recommend this play to anyone. Had seen it before but did not enjoy it as much as this production. Well done to all.
