Sarcastic fireworks in pastel landscapes Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was not only raised to the skies for Dorian Grey’s Portrait, the book that has opened the doors for almost every young person to life’s big aha moments. No, Wilde was also a giant in theatre and of his four comedies is considered to be The Importance of Being Earnest) as the wittiest and at the same time the most quoted English play based on Hamlet. This noble stallion in the salon comedy stable, which is now being shown under the direction of Neil Hardwick at Lilla The theatre seems as relevant today as when it was written in 1895, full of bitingly sharp witticisms, sarcasms and aphorisms, with the edge directed at Victorian society in general and the upper class in particular. The whole setup is as clever as it is unexpected and the plot is surprising with turning around his shoulder several times. It’s about the two wealthy young men and friends Algernon Moncrieff (Sampo Sarkola) and Jack Worthing (Pekka Strang), who are united by the inhabit of with a made-up friend that they blame to avoid unwanted social contacts.At the same time, both are in love with their respective adorable young girls, who strangely enough is fully convinced that Ernest is the most beautiful name a young man can have. (The English pun on “earnest” in the sense of “serious” and Ernest as a name unfortunately falls away in the Swedish version). Just as unbothered by telling the truth as doing something useful, the young men have quickly drawn for the ladies of their hearts waltz that they are also called Ernest. This is where the trouble begins. Because of his suspicious ancestry, Jack is prevented from marrying with the sweet Gwendolen (Cécile Orblin) by her dominant, to say the least, and overly suspicious old mother, Lady Bracknell (Birgitta Ulfsson). Jack is also not happy that his friend Algernon is courting his guardian, the charming young cousin Cecily (Edith Holmström).
