The best part of directing, or acting in, an Oscar Wilde play is being able to experience his wit and wisdom over and over again. Phrases such as “The truth is rarely pure and never simple (Act I),” or “It is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth (Act III),” to cover just one of Wilde’s many topics, both delight and raise questions for a director, actor, or audience member. As someone who loves intelligent theatre there may never have been a writer more intelligent, witty, and hilariously thought-provoking as Oscar Wilde, and it is my absolute pleasure to bring his greatest masterpiece to you this evening.
I would especially like to thank FireMAC for partnering with us for winter and spring of 2010, Louise and Sally for their tireless work on these gorgeous costumes, Bruce Roberts for his advice and set construction talents, my wonderful mother for re-upholstering what used to be a very ugly couch, and finally the cast and crew who have been a constant inspiration and joy throughout our rehearsal process.
Algernon- “What shall we do after dinner? Go to a theater?”
Jack- “Oh no! I loathe listening.”
