“A handbag…..?!”

Heather Johnston, producer of this year’s Arran High School play, sends us this announcement.
Arran High School presents The Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde’s theatrical masterpiece is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest comedies in the English language. Wonderful characters, sparkling dialogue, gloriously improbable plot twists, a sprinkling of romance and identity theft – The Importance of Being Earnest has it all.
Jack is in love with Gwendolen. Algernon is in love with Cecily. Gwendolen and Cecily are both in love with Ernest. But who IS Ernest? Does he actually exist? And why the obsession with that handbag??
The crisis spirals out of control when the previously separate worlds of town and country collide and delicious mayhem ensues. Thoughts of marriage and a happy ending must be put on hold until the monstrous Lady Bracknell can be convinced that the young men are worthy suitors.
Performances are from 19th to 21st June and feature many of the wonderful young actors who have appeared in the recent productions of The Wizard of Oz and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Tickets will be available from Arran High School, Lamlash or The Book & Card, Brodick from 10th June.
