The Importance Of Being Earnest
The Importance Of Being Earnest
David Suchet purses his lips and heaves his bosom as the indomitable Lady Bracknell in this live broadcast of Oscar Wilde's razor-sharp satire on Victorian manners from the stage of the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End. Subtitled A Trivial Comedy For Serious People, the story centres on bachelor best friends Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing, who adopt different identities as they swan between dual lives in the city and country. The elaborate ruse has unforeseen consequences.
