Go Wilde for this bonkers but brilliant camp caper

Daily Express

|

October 01, 2025

THIS is the first time I'd ever seen Oscar Wilde's comedy of manners on stage, so forgive me.

I won't give you the storied history of its many adaptations. I can tell you that the high-camp, mischievous and brilliant - in both senses of the word - incarnation, with its new cast including Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell, might just be the most fun you'll have in a theatre all year.

Even if it leaves you wondering if you've just woken from a bonkers dream.
