Chapterhouse Theatre Company is returning to County Fermanagh for their 2023 summer tour. This summer, audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy Chapterhouse’s 'The Importance of Being Earnest', on Saturday, June 24 at 6.30pm, and 'The Secret Garden' on Tuesday, July 4 at 6.30pm in the beautiful setting of Enniskillen Castle.

Chapterhouse will presents Oscar Wilde’s finest and most eccentric romantic comedy, with the cast of unforgettable and larger-than-life characters – the delightful Cecily, the roguish Algernon and the formidable Lady Bracknell – sure to keep you entertained.

Picnic with family and friends and enjoy Wilde’s hilarious tale of double lives and mistaken identities, presented with both wit and style in the beautiful surroundings of Enniskillen Castle.

The most widely renowned of Wilde’s comedies, The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People follows two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, each of whom are attempting to win the hearts of young women who claim only to be capable of loving men named ‘Ernest’.

When both Jack and Algernon assume alter-egos of that name, the lies start to spiral out of control and they struggle to keep their stories straight and their paths uncrossed.

What unfolds is a raucous tale of deception, disguise and misadventure, all swept towards an explosive conclusion by Wilde’s expert pacing and cutting dialogue.

For a change of pace, The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett and adapted for the stage by Laura Turner, follows young Mary Lennox on her journey of discovery as she travels to her uncle’s house deep in the Yorkshire countryside, where unexpected friends and magical creatures help her unlock the mystery of the secret garden.

This enchanting story, loved by children and adults alike, is presented in the beautiful setting of Enniskillen.

Alive with music and song and featuring an array of especially designed creatures, The Secret Garden captures the spirit of summer and promises to be an unforgettable evening of magical theatre in magical surroundings.

Originally published as a serialised story in The American Magazine by Frances Hodgson Burnett, now in the hands of accomplished playwright Laura Turner, The Secret Garden becomes a charmingly pastoral tale of self-belief and the healing power of nature.

Theatre under the open sky is the perfect pastime for those long summer evenings, and audiences are welcome to relax with a picnic while they watch the show unfold. Tickets can be purchased via the Enniskillen Castle website.
