The Importance of Being Earnest, Ahmanson Theatre - LA (2006)

Cast: James A. Stephens (Lane), Robert Petkoff (Algernon Moncrieff), James Waterston (Jack Worthing), Lynn Redgrave (Lady Bracknell), Bianca Amato (Gwendolen Fairfax), Miriam Margolyes (Miss Prism), Charlotte Parry (Cecily Cardew), Terence Rigby (Reverend Canon Chasuble), Geddeth Smith (Merriman), Greg Felden (Footman)

I had never seen The Importance of Being Earnest live, but have always enjoyed the movies and the play when I read it. The cast at the Ahmanson Theatre in LA is wonderful. They do a great job with this 19th century Oscar Wilde play.

It's really amazing how some plays, no matter when they're set, will always make an audience laugh. The Importance of Being Earnest is definitely one of those plays that will always be funny, no matter how many years pass. Even the younger audience members were clearly enjoying themselves.

Grade: B
