| Audiences and critics alike are loving this timeless comedy |
4.5 stars! "Wilde's classic mockery of late Victorian London's traditions and social customs is more hilarious and enchanting than ever before in this production, rounded out by an excellent cast and beautiful costumes...a highly enjoyable and entertaining production." -Theatromania
 "Earnest is exactly the kind of show that Hart House does extremely well...there's some strong acting and moments of outstanding chemistry here..." -Mooney on Theatre
"I loved this play...It was well-acted by the entire cast, all of whom obviously trusted in the guidance of their director. I think the play came together  beautifully. This just might be my favourite Hart House production to date!" -Theatre Isn't Dead
"Charming and witty, hilarious and enjoyable, the cast kept the audience entertained, never breaking character even as they walked off the stage. The Importance of Being Earnest is a winning comedy, fit for audiences of every time period." -The Varsity

| The star of our acclaimed production of King Lear, returns this fall to play Shakespeare's great sorcerer, Prospero. |
 We are so pleased to announce the return of one of our most beloved performers, Peter Higginson. Peter was first seen on our stage in 1975 playing the role of Mereia in Caligula. Since then, he has played several leading and supporting roles in Shakespearean plays as well as lending his talents to contemporary scripts.
Here's what the critics had to say about his performance in Lear :
 "NNNN - Peter Higginson demonstrates a deep understanding of the title role" -NOW Magazine
"Peter Higginson's King Lear is incredibly expressive; he showed off Lear's turbulent emotions in a controlled yet heart-wrenching manner...all worthy of the audience's standing ovation." -The Medium
"Stage veteran Peter Higginson was the perfect Lear." -Mooney on Theatre
 Peter has and continues to be a great mentor to our young, emergent company and we look forward to what will no doubt be a spectacular performance of Propsero in The Tempest.
