Pre audition meeting and audition information for 
Cygnet Players production of Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.

At a time when Victorian plays tended to feature moral messages rather heavily, Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated play, with its witty dialogue and unashamedly trivial plot, can be seen very much as a satire. But any satirical subtext can only exist through emphasising the playfulness of the characters and the comedy of the situation they find themselves in, qualities which have ensured that the play has endured as a favourite with audiences for more than a century. Our intention with this production, which will be set in the period in which it was written, is very much to emphasise the wit, energy and exuberance of the play, ensuring that both cast and audience have an enormous amount of fun.

Dates for initial meetings, auditions and rehearsals:

1st Meeting  - Tuesday 14th February - 7.30pm
AUDITIONS -  Tuesday 21st February - from 7.30pm
