" <x-apple-data-detectors://8> THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST"

By Oscar Wilde


Show Description:

The Importance of Being Ernest is an entertaining romp featuring two
bachelor friends and the double lives they lead.  

Add in an irascible snob of an aunt and two delightful young ladies along
with some of the most brilliant dialogue and witticisms ever written for a
fun filled evening of laughter.

Roles:

John "Jack" Worthing, aka Ernest, is a wealthy young gentleman who takes
life seriously.  He's a friend of Algernon whose behavior he sometimes
deplores.  John is Cecily's guardian and is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax.

 

Algernon Moncrieff is the brilliantly witty and blithely selfish nephew of
Lady Bracknell and cousin to Gwendolen Fairfax.  He's John's best friend.
He's in love with Cecily Cardew.

 

Gwendolen Fairfax is  Algernon's young, aristocratic and charmingly
superficial cousin and Lady Bracknell's daughter.  She's in love with John.

 

Lady Bracknell is domineering, cunning, mercenary and snobbish.  She's
Gwendolen's mother, and she means to see her daughter well-married.  A
formidable woman, Lady Bracknell is used to having her own way in all
things.

 

Cecily Cardew is a young woman given to romantic fantasies and intrigued by
the wickedness of John's brother.  She is the simpler, more innocent country
girl to Gwendolyn's sophisticated city girl.

  

Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D. (Doctor of Divinity), is the pleasant rector on
John's estate and has a crush on Miss Prism. 

 

Miss Prism is Cecily's pedantic governess.  She's somewhat puritanical, but
her softer side leans toward Dr. Chasuble.  She once wrote an important
novel. 

 

Merriman is the butler at Jack's country estate.

 

Lane is Algernon's manservant.

 

All roles are open and available. 





The director is open to Lady Bracknell being played by either actor or
actress.  

 





English accents are preferred but not absolutely necessary.
