Our 2009-2010 Season
The Importance of Being Earnest April 7 - 24, 2010 Written by Oscar WildeDirected by Isabelle Theriault What happens when you use a different identity when you come to the city from your home in the city from your home in the country? What if your friend finds out and decides to play along, without your knowledge? Enjoy the confusion of wedding proposals, christenings, and surprise guests when two men use the same false identity. This Oscar Wilde play is filled with the rich accessories from the upper-class life of the 1890s. The contradictory views on marriage and romance mixed with cucumber sandwiches, afternoon tea, and a dash of proper manners - all topped off with the wit and satire of the upper-class bachelor. The confusion starts in the city and moves to the country as our characters begin to uncover the Importance of Being Earnest. The New York Times says, “...endlessly funny comedy”. “...an intricate puzzle with every piece brilliantly coming together,” as stated in A Curtain Up, Berkshires Review. John Gielgud’s performance in the 1947 Broadway production won the only Tony Award ever given for Best Foreign Production. |
