Cathedral Players: The Importance of Being Earnest

30 September – 3 October 2025 | 7:30pm-10pm

The Cathedral Players return, after the success of Twelfth Night, with Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.

Wilde’s beautifully drawn characters are brought vividly to life by a talented cast who each bring a refreshing take on the people they portray. The hilarious misunderstandings, the wickedly funny jibes at the class distinctions of the day, the polished puns building up to the final line of the play are all still fresh and relevant for today.

“Exeter Cathedral is architecture as theatre.”

“A lovely way to spend the afternoon for the whole family.”

“Really lovely, and unexpectedly ‘wow.’”

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
