The Filthiest Farce at the Fringe! Out Cast Theatre and Theatre Works presents The Importance of Being Earnest as Performed by Three F*cking Queens and a Duck by Steven Dawson (with little bits of Oscar Wilde).
The three-time Edinburgh Fringe season sell-out finally returns to Melbourne in all its disrespectful glory for the 2025 Melbourne Fringe. An outrageous tour-de-farce as three talent-deprived thespians (Steven Dawson, Christopher White and Scott Middleton) attempt the impossible in staging Mr Wilde’s classic in a frantic 50-minute lovey fest.
Good taste and political correctness fly out the window as they take on the uber-theatricals in an all-out assault on those more talented. It’s the campest, tackiest show you’ll see this year; a bitingly funny over-the-top comedy that sticks it right up the theatrical fundamentals. More rampage than homage. Oscar will be spinning in his grave!
“Full of biting one-liners, camp behaviour and much pouting, the show is just as outrageous as the title suggests.” – British Theatre Guide
