    Event description

    La Trobe Student Theatre and Film presents...

    'The Importance of Being Earnest'

    Fri 21 April - Sat 22 April
    Menzies Theatre, La Trobe University

    What do love, handbags, overbearing aunts, and cucumber sandwiches have in common?

    Two gentlemen have created alter egos to escape their responsibilities. Two ladies have created imaginary romances with men named Ernest. And Lady Bracknell has completely had it with all this creativity. The Importance of Being Earnest, a Trivial Play for Serious People is a farcical comedy from the incredible wit of Oscar Wilde.

    What is Moat Arts Festival?

    Moat Arts Festival celebrates culture and creativity, engaging students with performing and creative arts, no matter what you study! Moat began in 1984 as a university-wide performing arts festival, launched by then Vice-Chancellor, J.F. Scott. It has since become the longest-running student theatre festival in the Australia, led by La Trobe Student Theatre and Film, and has allowed students to share their work and talents with the wider community.
