Synopsis: The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities - not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell. Brian Bedford directs and stars as Lady Bracknell.
Broadway Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Within seconds of sweeping onstage, and with a wordless gesture as funny as it is subtle, the great actor Brian Bedford proves beyond question that gender is of no importance whatsoever in portraying the imposing Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s greatest comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest.”"

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"Oscar Wilde's 1895 comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, now being revived by the Roundabout Theatre Company at the American Airlines Theatre, is a perfect piece of writing -- a verbal playground you wouldn't want to add a single word to or subtract a single word from. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean it can't be compromised by a less-than-perfect production. Luckily, this new Broadway mounting, directed by and starring Brian Bedford, is as nearly perfect as it gets.

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:
"The sure sign of a good actress is that you forget, over the course of two hours, that the woman you are seeing is, in fact, a man."
