BUNBURY

The Importance of Being Earnest

by Oscar Wilde

Discover the rarely performed four act version of this radically absurd classic play, that was written by a true literary genius, well ahead of it's time This adaptation by Davyn Ryall, although remianing true in in its origianal message, sets the tale of these iconic characters of English literature in 1929 Montreal. It is ripe for a fun filled summer season with plenty of laughs and the added flair of some catchy eclectic period music and eccentric dance steps. Presented in both English & French for a total of ten performances from August 10 to 15 at Theatre Saint-Catherine; an associate event of the third edition of the 2009 Montreal Pride Celebrations (August 13 to 16.)

Chausable) Jessica Hill (Gwendolyn Fairfax) Aleksandra Lipskaia (Miss Prism) Jonathan Marquis (Lane, & Mr. Gribsby) Chris Nachaj (Algernon Moncrieff) Elsa Perez (Lady Bracknell) Marc-André Poulin (Jack Worthing) Kristina Sandev (Cecily Cardew) Stephan Turgeon (Merriman).
