Classic Matinee: The Importance of Being Earnest

This May, enjoy the wit and charm of The Importance of Being Earnest (1952), the definitive adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy of manners. Featuring dazzling performances from Michael Redgrave, Edith Evans, and Joan Greenwood, this delightful film brims with sharp satire, mistaken identities, and sparkling dialogue. A timeless tale of love, deception, and cucumber sandwiches, The Importance of Being Earnest remains as fresh and hilarious as ever on the big screen. Classic Matinee is our monthly senior screening, where tickets are just £2.50 for those over 60 years, and we offer free tea, coffee, and biscuits for all! These screenings are a fantastic opportunity to socialise and a chance to experience the full 1930s atmosphere of the Rio, as we open up the circle for the classic cinema experience. We hope to see you soon!PT1H55MU2025-05-12
