#1A question regarding The Importance of Being Earnest
Posted: 1/4/11 at 10:16amThis is a play that I have never seen. It is however, one that has been on my "to see" list for a while if the chance ever did come up. Now, that it is on Broadway, is the production that is currently playing at The American Airlines worth seeing? Or should I wait for the play to be produced later on by a small off Broadway company?

Earnest is the rare play that can be seen again and again with no loss of joy. Go see this production and see many more over the years.
This one will be my 4th production I think.

Posted: 1/4/11 at 11:05amWhy would you wait for some off-Broadway theatre to do it? It's a play that, while well-known, isn't often done and done well. This production is stellar.

I understand your thought process, especially with so many thing being done so poorly recently on the great white way.
That being said, this production of EARNEST is pretty amazing. A transfer from THE STRATFORD FESTIVAL in Ontario, its a not to be missed production. Brian Bedford directs with sheen and glamour, and stars with confidence and radiance. Do not miss this show.

Just the idea of hearing Brian Bedford growl "A haaaaaaaaandbag" sets me giggling.

See the previous thread about the show. He doesn't really growl it like Edith Evans did. He does something much more surprising.
