Not seen this one before so didnt know what to expect. Was impressed yet again by all the cast although special mentions for Lee Thornton and Leonie English performances. The amount of unseen commitment and work that goes into remembering the scripts is amazing as they were not just one liners but full paragraphs of lines for prolonged scenes impressive; this deserved to be on for more than 2 performances!! Looking forward to next show.

Favourite moment: The roller skating butler. Genius! @

It's only in watching "The Importance of Being Earnest" that you realise what a virtuoso of the one liner Oscar Wilde was. Rapid fire epigrams from start to finish. The Rough Magic cast are superb, very subtle. The red haired butler on roller skates is fantastic. The sets are exquisite,and the movement involved in changing the scene is perfect in it's precision.
There are two drawbacks to this production - the first is the very scant participation of Stockard Channing as Lady Bracknell and the second is the gaudy appearance of some of the costumes. Lady Bracknell and her daughter are over the top in terms of attire and in the final act Lady Bracknell's pillar box red satin ensemble is distracting in it's likeness to a cheap, flamable lampshade.
I would recommend the production but advise that it may be disappointing for fans of Stockard Channing because, in the opinion of this reviewer, she appears to have been under utilised given her talent.

Loved it. Very amusing. How language 100 years old can still be so relevant today.

Funny, interesting, great play and definitly worth watching. The actors did a great job
the only sticking point was the constant smoking throughout the performance by the characters on stage, the stink filled the theatre and was an uneccessary idiotic addition to the play, as props would have been fine

Favourite moment: As Lady Bracknell (Channing) makes a most dramatic entrance in the second act, a vision in red! @

Oscar Wilde's sparkling comedy is revived in a top class production from Rough Magic . My main reason for attending was to witness the performance of legendary actress Stockard Channing. As the scene stealing Lady Bracknell, Stockard makes the part her own and dazzles us with her presence in a couple of show-stopping costumes. Images of Edith Evans are quickly forgotten, when Stockard conveys a look of understated horror on discovering Worthing (Rory Keenan), started life in a handbag! A top class cast, wonderful costumes and a stunning set, all add up to a great night of theatre.

Went to see Importance of Being Earnest last night at the lovely Gaiety Theatre. The whole cast were superb and of course, Stockard Channing blew me away as Lady Bracknell! Cannot recommend enough!!! Go see it!
