2017 Edinburgh Fringe
To Hell In A Handbag
The Secret Lives of Canon Chasuble and Miss Prism by Helen Norton and Jonathan White. While others are preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches and railway cloakrooms, two minor characters from The Importance of Being Earnest are up to their necks in something else. A country rector and a governess, models of Victorian propriety in public. But in private? This is the play behind the play: a tale of blackmail, false identity... and money. 'Top-notch gags... four stars' (Irish Times). 'Wickedly, side-splittingly funny... a joyous romp not to be missed' (Sunday Independent).

Chris Bratt, The Independent, 21st August 2017Helen Norton and Jonathan White interview
In much the same way Tom Stoppard reckoned that Hamlet characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deserved their own play, Helen Norton and Jonathan White couldn't help wondering what else we'd discover if we got to spend a little more time with Miss Prism and Canon Chasuble, two minor characters in Oscar Wilde's The Importance Of Being Earnest.
