Tickets can be purchased directly from the from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bozar.be\/activity.php?id=13553&amp;selectiondate=2013-04-12\">BOZAR website<\/a>, by telephone (02\/507.82.00) or in person.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows (or thinks they know) Oscar Wilde\u2019s &#8220;The Importance of Being Earnest\u201d. Some of the lines and situations are among the most well known in the theatre world \u2013 Lady Bracknell, Algernon, the Honourable Gwendolen Fairfax have become reference figures for artifice, style and snobbery.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew McIlroy&#8217;s exciting new take on Oscar Wilde&#8217;s classic sparkles, while never losing sight of the dark satire behind the fa\u00e7ade of comedy. While the play is certainly a glittering social comedy \u2013 it is much more; it is filled with anger, deception and a biting criticism of morals and attitudes. It\u2019s this \u2013 this darker underbelly of a much loved classic \u2013 that the forthcoming ITG production will seek to explore. It will be fun, noisy, energetic and alternative, Wilde would hopefully have approved.<\/p>\n<p>Our shows normally sell out so book early to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n<p>This production is supported by the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtheatregroup.com\/\">http:\/\/www.irishtheatregroup.com\/\u00a0<\/a> to keep up to date with our shows and to sign up to our mailing list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/earnest.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[43,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2012-2013","category-itg"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/earnest.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3Lbx2-40","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-09 22:03:28","action":"category-remove","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":414,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions\/414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatreinbrussels.com\/listings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
