The Importance of Being Earnest
Mon, 12 July 2004, 09:13 pmThe 'Importants' of Being Earnest are that it wasn't all that important!!
Seriously though, we didn't go with the intention of pulling it to bits, suffice to say, elasticated mens boots weren't invented in those
days, nor were stiletto heels and black stockings and I'm not entirely sure that plastic ivy all over your garden was either, and one certainly didn't pretend to water ones plastic roses with pretend water from a tiny child's watering can. My partner tells me that at some point Cecily says she's going to water the roses, however, they look suspiciously
like azaleas.
Ernest looked uncannily like David Coulthard and as for Gwendoline, she appeared to be a little unsure of what accent she was supposed to be using as it seemed to vary from plum-in-the-mouth English to strange French!!
By the way, on the photo display out in the foyer, a certain K Wallace is listed as 'Gendoline' and the programme lists a character as 'Earnest Worthing J.P.' Surely that should be Ernest although perhaps they were being a little too Earnest.
Apart from all that, it wasn't too bad really and well worth the effort.

Picky, Picky .... more importantly what was the show like. I am sure with Dr. Douglas Sutherland-Bruce directing it would be just about perfect .... I know he has done a few times. I played the part of Jack in the KADS production back in 1993 - Douglas directed that production .... and it was great fun.
