Importance of Being Earnest - ScreenReviewer
An enjoyable rendition of The Importance of Being Earnest, especially the strongly portrayed roles of Chasuble and Prism. References to the Savoy and the arrival of the debt-collector Gribsby, though included in Wilde's original draft of the script, but not usually in stage productions or printed editions, make for a strangely clumsy episode in an otherwise delightfully subtle play.
