The Importance of London Theatre
Families looking for a post-Christmas treat may perk up at the news that Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of romantic intrigue, The Importance of Being Earnest, is coming to the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End in January 2008. This delightfully clever comedy of manners rattles out puns and wordplay in an incessant flow of jibes and diatribes, and the structure is equally silly, with more twists in the plot than a tangled iPod cord.
Two men about town, Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthington, weave a web of lovers' deceit, leading their respective sweethearts a merry dance of confusion and crossed identities.
The cast will be headed by The Good Life's Penelope Keith as the unconquerably arch Lady Bracknell.
Also featured in the play, familiar to film buffs from the big-screen version starring Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth and Rupert Everett in the romantic leads, are Daisy Haggard, Rebecca Night and Roger Swaine.
The production transfers from the Theatre Royal, Bath and will play throughout late winter and into the spring.
