The Importance of Being Earnest
“The Importance of Being Earnest”
OSCAR WILDE’S BELOVED MASTERPIECE, AND IT’S MORE OUTRAGEOUS THAN IT’S EVER BEEN BEFORE
Directed by Warren Bates, Wilde’s exquisitely scandalous satire on Victorian manners is widely considered one of the funniest plays in the English language – the delightful repartee and hilarious piercing of hypocrisy and pomposity has had theatre-goers rolling the aisles for over a century. And it’s Playing at the Cue Theatre, 25 July – 3 August 2019
Two young bachelors, Algernon Moncrieff (Sonny Deacle) and John Worthing J.P., (Martin Quicke) lead double lives to court the attentions of the exquisitely desirable Gwendolen Fairfax (Loren Armstrong) and Cecily Cardew (Michelle Rawlinson). The gallants must then grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions … and with the formidable Lady Bracknell (Selina Mackie). Happening simultaneously is the attraction between Governess, Miss Prism (Sharren Read) and the Rev. Canon Chasuble (Steve Hobson). All these happenings have been inconspicuously observed by the Butler/Manservant (Laurie Neville).
THIS IS ONE PLAY, NOT TO BE MISSED
