A Daring Take on a Wilde Play
NYTimes.com: "Presenting Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” with an all-male cast dressed as men has raised a few eyebrows in conservative Singapore, leading the media regulator to request the company to prominently display an age advisory of “16 years and above” on all its publicity material, with the notice, “Re-interpretation, all-male cast.”"

I always appreciate it when people find drastically different directions to go in with plays that have been done a million times. The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorites, and I would love to see it with an all-male cast. I especially admire this production since it's being done in a country where homosexuality is so unacceptable.
what an interesting approach!
i think that exploring the homosexuality in Wilde's plays is an important part to understanding his work. I wish i had the opportunity to see this production.
