To Hell in a Handbag:
The Secret Lives of Canon Chasuble & Miss Prism

Presented by Once Off Productions

Written and performed by Jonathan White and Helen Norton
Directed by Conor Hanratty

Sunday 27 September

This subversively funny take on Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest returns for a 10th anniversary tour, having sold out previous runs in Ireland and the UK.

While others are preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches and railway cloakrooms, two minor characters from The Importance of Being Earnest are up to their necks in something else. A country rector and a governess, models of Victorian propriety in public. But in private? This is the play behind the play: a tale of blackmail, false identity … and money.
