The Play
A group of people are rehearsing The Importance of Being Earnest but, as they attempt to perform a play which is alien to them to gain some form of escapism, it becomes apparent that their surroundings are not normal. Gradually, as tensions mount, squabbles ensue and each person’s story starts to emerge.
Auditions
Auditions for Banbury Cross Players’ 2026 one-act festival play will take place on 18th and 19th March 2026. If you would like to take part, please see the auditions information at and script extract.
