Gay Marriage goes WILDE with THE ALL-MALE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Begins August 16 at The Sanford Meisner Theatre “Oscar would be delighted!” - Merlin Holland, Oscar Wilde’s grandson. It’s the Gay Marriage play that Oscar Wilde never wrote! This gender bending production of Oscar Wilde’s play is set in modern-day Chelsea and the Hamptons, where Butlers become muscular “houseboys, “ Lady Bracknell morphs into an over protective Gay father who frequents The Townhouse, and packs of rich gay men assume false identities to marry the men they love! Wilde has never been more fun! Directed and Adapted by Hugh Hysell, the gender bending production of Oscar Wilde’s play has been reconfigured and updated to encompass an all-male cast. It’s truly a world filled with divine decadence and witty repartee. This hysterical take on Wilde’s play boldly pokes fun at modern day culture – the shallowness, the pretension, and fantastic bitchiness. Wilde has never been more fun! The cast of 9 features Adam Beckworth (10 Naked Men, Peep Show), Lee Blair* (St. Crispin's Day, Waiter Waiter), Gary Hilborn (A Bright Room Called Day at Bringhurst Theatre), John Kudan* (Inside Out), Joe LaRue* (Say You Love Satan), Jerry Marsini* (Bald Diva, MONO, Birdy’s Bachelorette Party), Ricky Oliver (Titanic National Tour, Children of Eden at York Theatre), Kila Packett (Anchor Pectoris at La MaMa), & William Reinking* (How to Succeed National Tour). THE ALL-MALE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST premiered with a sold-out, critically acclaimed run in the 1998 NYC Fringe Festival, and immediately followed with a widly (pun intended) successful run at the Duplex Theatre from 1998-1999.
