The Broadway Show, "The Importance of Being Ernest" is playing in two cinemas in Calgary, tonight, June 2, 2011.
The following information is found at the Cineplex Website
"The Importance of Being Earnest" was captured live in high-definition from Roundabout's American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd St., New York, NY) and features the original cast of this new Broadway production. The play is a comedy of mistaken identity. Dashing men-about -town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities.Here is a review of the show from the Associated Press.
As an added bonus, host David Hyde Pierce takes viewers backstage for special behind-the-scenes peek! In addition, Alfred Molina and Oscar Wilde expert Michael Hackett discuss the writer and the man in an intermission special.
The LA newspapers say it is worth the price of a plane ticket to go see this show.
Hope to see you there.

We all went tonight! .... steve, me, fania, alex and duncan.... and a great time was had by all. We all went off to do some Bunburying at the intermission!... steve says he would not have been able to find arta in THIS crowd because of the high proportion of white haired people there! Duncan was definitely the youngest! :-)
ReplyDeleteI went alone, but was wishing I had called Ceilidh and Dalton. Afterward I was wondering how they would have liked it. Loved the commentator's description of Oscar Wilde's "bonne mot", and wondered if I could get good at that and thus be invited to more parties. I don't think I am up to the repartee and the witticisms. I can hardly understand them, let alone do perform them.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that some of these actors are the same ones that played in the production that I saw in London, which was made the whole thing fun to watch again.
