WHAT'S ON
THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
New Victoria Theatre, Woking til Saturday 31 January and
then on tour.
To judge the success of a comedy appears to be quite a
simple thing. One simply has to ascertain as to whether it
made the audience laugh. Of course the laughter has to be
alongside the players; to laugh at something usually
implies derision. A play should be an entertainment which,
to me, means enthralling the audience so that they
voluntarily listen and watch attentively. The Importance of
Being Earnest is a play which is so jam-packed full of
witty sayings and still topical truisms that it can glide
along on its own rails. It is a bit of froth subtitled âa
trivial comedy for serious peopleâ and yet for all its
silliness itâs a play that can still charm me despite
being acquainted with it since I was a teenager long, long
ago.
Christopher Luscombe has directed this touring production
with the lightest of touches and an invigorating pace. It
is a wonderful example of theatricality at its best and the
satirical nudges at class and snobbishness cause gentle
laughter. This production unashamedly sets out to entertain
and the cast do exactly that whilst having a whale of a
time themselves. Their exuberance at being blessed with
such witty dialogue, elegant costumes and delightful sets,
is infectious.
Whilst Wendy Craig is heralded in all the publicity as the
star of this production, it is, as should be, an ensemble
effort. Her Lady Bracknell is a safe, traditional
interpretation and she looks fabulous. However, for me, the
technical brilliance of Andrew Havillâs John Worthing
alongside the measured elegance of Hattie Ladbury were the
memorable performances. Olivia Darnley as Cecily sparkled
beautifully and Josephine Tewsonâs Miss Prism is a joy to
behold. Her look of abject horror on encountering Lady
Bracknell again after thirty-four years was exquisitely
timed.
This production is for those theatre lovers who want to
indulge themselves. For aspiring actors â many of whom I
know read this site â you can justify this trip out as
research in how to hold a stage within character. For the
less technically minded then just go along and enjoy
yourself.

PUGILIST
SPECIALIST (Soho Theatre)
Fresh from the Edinburgh Festival comes the only play from
this years collection which can be said to be truly
described as new, - electrically exciting, startlingly
brave, and stunningly acted . It puts to shame the rest of
the festival and most British theatre today.
Next to Albee's THE GOAT , OR WHO IS SYVIA at the Almeida,
it is way, way ahead of anything else in London this
month.
Four American actors with talent to-die-for play a team of
marines on a suicide mission. You think you are there. No
marines were ever more scarey. No more balanced yet
terrifying picture of the modern soldier (male and female)
has been seen on a stage. The dialogue is like bullets,
pointed, hard-hitting, on-target, and unbelieveably fast.
Breath in before sitting down, as you won't want to breath
in again for another hour.

THE GOAT, OR
WHO IS SYLVIA (Almeida Theatre)
THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA, written by Edward Albee,
starring Jonathan Pryce, directed by Anthony Page.
There are two must-see new plays in London. One is Edward
Albee's THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA. As most will know
before taking their seats in the wonderfully modernised
Almeida Theatre, the play concerns a happily married man
who suddenly finds uncontrollable love for another,but,in
this case, for a goat. To describe Albee's play as being
about unfaithfulness is like describing his play WHO'S
AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLF as a play about a slight marital
tiff. Albee has written a new masterpiece which will have
audiences arguing for years.
Is true love something which anyone really understands?
Should we be more understanding of the ridiculous passions
which some feel? Should we all start looking at goats in a
new way?
Jonathan Pryce is one of our best actors, and if you have
seen the other stunning new play (at the Soho Theatre) then
this has to be the next show on your list - as long as you
are ready for insane passion, insane laughter, and that you
like goats.
