​
This preposterous and flamboyant production of The Importance of Being Earnest is a farcical play by Oscar Wilde about two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape what they believe are their mundane lives. Both men use this deception to woo women who are fixated on the name "Ernest".
Celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodying and gently satirising late Victorian manners, this version of the play deems to poke fun at quintessential Britishness and the pomposity of the upper class.
We bring to you two Victorian philanderers (which could be putting it nicely), Jack and Algernon, as well as the likes of the formidable Lady Bracknell, the glamorous Gwendolen Fairfax, the ever-curious Cecily Cardew, the bumbling Dr Frederick Chasuble, the indifferent Miss Laetitia Prism, ever devoted Lane and Merriman, as well as A Handbag!

It's time for the Australian public to learn the truth. Girt is not just a weird word in our National Anthem; SHE is this country's greatest swimming coach, letting a documentary crew into her world for the first time!
​
Follow the outrageous and dedicated Girt, her ever-supportive husband Birt and their anxious adult daughter Joy on their day-to-day routines of the legendary - yet unorthodox - Girt by Seaswimming school. But when the powerful head of the local parent's council threatens the school with permanent closure, Girt must go to even weirder lengths than usual to save everything she's worked for.
​
From blackmailing lawyers to stalking past students, freestyling past E-Coli outbreaks and diving over red tape, Girt By Sea is a mockumentary whirlwind championing family, community, and the subtle art of an aqua aerobic dance routine.
