The Importance of Being Ernest?

To be perfectly ernest, Germantown Community Theatre's The Importance of Being Ernest is not worth the money or the drive for local mid-towners. Although a few of the actors were very convincing in their roles- both in mastering the essential british accent and achieving their character's eccentricities, for the most part, the cast's accents collectively were unbearable and line deliverey was often poor. These two faults took a toll on the production, especially because this Oscar Wilde romantic british comedy relies almost solely on subtle and witty remarks and the quaint rigidity of the englsih culture- of which the cast failed to hone. In the end, after giving up on the production's many shortcomings, I would say the show was at least mildly entertaining and made clever use of the tight space- with rotating set pieces that kept up with the various locations. I will admit GCT made a valiant effort, but I would still not recommend this play to anyone living farther than ten miles from the theatre with anything else to do with their weekend.
