A Handbag

by Anthony Horowitz

Performed by More House School

1 July at 7pm

A group of young people rehearse a performance of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. But the choice of play seems strange and inappropriate, the cast has almost no understanding of what they are doing and the place where they will be performing is certainly not a theatre. As they struggle to make sense of the text, we see that they are actually fighting for their own survival. This is a dark and disturbing comedy that explores crime and punishment in an increasingly vengeful world and questions whether there is a group in society that is actually beyond redemption.

Tickets: 1 show £5, or two shows on the same night £8.
