Shaun MacLaughlin's direction of this Wilde play strives for an effective
dramatic reading, rather than a fully realized radio-drama production with
sound effects and atmospheric music.The production uses a narrator (Michael
Drew) to read the stage directions. Such directorial emphasis calls
attention to Wilde's brilliant dialogue and the strong performances. In THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, one of the most celebrated of all stage
comedies, a faster pace helps Greg Wise and Richard Pearce sound young and
carefree as they concoct witty deceptions to pursue their sweethearts.
Wilde's comic attack on the shams of superficial earnestness in
late-Victorian society finds rich expression in Miriam Margolyes's comically
formidable Lady Bracknell. She plays the role slightly less broadly than
Edith Evans did in the old Angel recording, and her performance keeps with
MacLaughlin's subtle approach to Wilde's comedy of manners. |
