SWAN Theatre will be the venue for refined wit and humour this weekend when the classic Importance of Being Earnest comes to the stage.

A sharp, ribald comedy written by one of Britain's greatest ever playwrights The Importance of Being Earnest follows the life and loves of Jack Worthing.

Found as a child in a handbag at London's Victoria Station Jack is in love with the daughter of snobby Lady Bracknell's daughter.

Our hero goes on a quest to discover his origins in order to win over his love's snooty mother.

Filled with a sparkling humour to delight young and old alike the show is a light hearted romp of afternoon tea parties and bogus identities.

Produced by the New Triad Theatre Company The Importance of Being Earnest is directed by John Strehlow.

Tickets for the show, which runs between Friday January 27 and 28, costs £13 and can be bought by calling the box-office on 01905 611427.

l Huntingdon Hall will be filled with classical music when Worcester Concert Club holds a show on Sunday, January 29 (3pm start).

Oxley has carved out a reputation in France, Belgium and Australia as an accomplished singer.

Tickets for the show cost £12.50 and can be bought by calling the box-office on 01905 611427.
