The Importance of being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Sarah Ward.
A handbag?
Huntingdon
Drama Club’s spring production is of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy
The Importance of being Earnest.
The play
provides a thoroughly enjoyable evening out, and contains many memorable lines,
including:
‘To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune;
to lose both looks like carelessness.’
‘I never travel without my diary.
One should always have something sensational to read in the train.’
‘The
good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.’
And
of course, Lady Bracknell’s immortal ‘A handbag?’
The Importance of being Earnest was performed in the Commemoration Hall,
Huntingdon
on 25-27 March 2010.
