CLASSIC COMEDY LIVE BROADCAST The Black Swan State Theatre Company is continuing its successful live broadcasts in 2013 with a third broadcast: ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ by Oscar Wilde, which will be broadcast live on Friday 22 March from the Perth’s State Theatre to regional WA audiences over the Westlink network. In Oscar Wilde’s most famous play, the dandy Algernon and dapper Jack are best friends, who, unbeknownst to each other, both employ different identities in London and the countryside. When Jack proposes to Algernon’s cousin Gwendolen, and Algernon falls for Jack’s ward Cecily, both do so using the pseudonym Ernest. Amidst mistaken identities and giddy confusion towers Gwendolen’s mother, the imposing Lady Bracknell, a paragon of Victorian propriety, who refuses to be anything but earnest! This masterful comedy of manners, considered to be the wittiest play in the English language, sparkles with brilliant dialogue that will lift your spirits. When: Time: Where: Map: Cost: Rated: Info:
