CAST members are required for Rhondo Theatre’s next show, The Importance of Being Earnest. Director Kevin Shorey said two men aged between 25 and 40, three men aged 40-plus, two women aged 40-plus and two women aged 20-35 were needed.

“Never mind the schmutter, feet the width is how the old saying goes, and it certainly applies in the case of the forthcoming classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest by that master playwright Oscar Wilde,” Mr Shorey said.

“A period piece at its best, it will need a cast of committed talented actors who’ll get to wear incredible authentic costumes designed and created by our own costume master Paul Harrison.

“If you fancy wearing them, come to the auditions on April 16 and 17 at 7.30pm in the Rondo foyer.

“If you fancy being close enough to ‘fondle’ the fabric, then you’ll need to be keeping an eye out on the website for the box plan to open with last call for this amusing nine performance season, which will include a matinee.”

Mr Shorey said it was a trivial comedy for serious people.

“The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a play with couples involving period manners and costumes plus a tongue in cheek comedy, capturing and telling the story of young love and its trials and tribulations of the time,” he said. The show will run June 30 to July 9.
