Stage review: Unfamiliar 'Earnest' a rarity
Post-Gazette: "I'd previously seen it only at the Stratford Festival, so I leapt at the chance to see it at the Summer Company, directed by John E. Lane Jr. with a mixed company of amateurs and pros, featuring Susan McGregor-Laine's bossy Lady Bracknell. It includes a satiric scene with a solicitor seeking to imprison Algy for debt, a funny dictation episode for Algy and Cecily and a delicious squabble between him and Jack amid tea cake and muffins. Although the familiar 1895 version is better, any admirer of Wilde's wit will enjoy these extras."
