Andy White talks to The Barefoot Players, the cast of The Importance of being Earnest showing at the Iambic Theatre in May. The performance is a sexy modern update of Oscar Wilde’s classic social satire for Brighton Fringe Festival 2011 <– lifted straight from The Barefoot Player’s Facebook page, hope you don’t mind guys.
The cast, in order of appearance:
Sarah King plays the formidable Lady Bracknell
Sam Black plays Jack or is it Ernest Worthing? He’s also a muscian/musical director and has composed a score
James Davies the director
Eleanor Conlon, she plays Gwendolen and doesn’t laugh at her own jokes but laughs at dentist jokes from Sam and Andy (I think I have that right)
Andy Mansell – Algernon Moncrieff who apparently plays piano badly and in real life can design websites
Steven Bollschweiler – Algernon Moncrieff’s butler
Katie Sommers – Cecily Cardue – Jack’s niece – she’s a bit mad, not in real life though
Edward Johnson – Dr. Chasuble – the village vicar – he’s doing the set in real life
What have a load of missing lamps from Hollingdean got to do with the Big Lemon Bus and a facinating light and dance performance? Sarah Chambers talks to Yael Karavan and Claire Wearn, of the Karavan Ensemble to get some answers.
In this lively interview, Andrew and Dino gave some terrific insights into the story behind the play, and you can enjoy me struggling to pronounce Andrew’s surname too.
