‘The most perfect high comedy in the English language' - The Telegraph

Algernon and Jack are good friends, who each maintain, as a matter of convenience, different identities depending on whether they are in the town or the country. It therefore becomes especially inconvenient, not to say confusing, when Jack proposes to Algernon’s cousin Gwendolyn under the pseudonym of ‘Ernest’, while Algernon proposes to Jack’s ward Cecily also under the pseudonym of ‘Ernest’. In truth, no one is particularly earnest, except the imperious Lady Bracknell, who takes a dim view of everything.

Wildely improbable. Amid a flurry of mistaken identity, witty banter and cucumber sandwiches, Oscar Wilde created the most elegant of comedies of manners.

How I WISH I could see this! I'll never forget him in EXIT THE KING. He is utterly pricelss in what he can accomplish with his body for a laugh.

I really want him to come back to Broadway. His performance in Exit the King was one of the best I've ever seen.
