The Importance of Being Ernest

Theatre Decatur did a fantastic job last night with their production of "The Importance of Being Ernest." Props to Bill, the Stage Manager, for running everything smoothly with that cast.

1. The Scene Changes could have been quicker
2. Wondering how men hold their wine glasses back then - because, Algernon held his wine glass like it was a mug of beer.
3. Miss Prism got up from the table in Act I.2 and, just wondering, couldn't she go around the chair and upstage instead of between the chair and desk? It looked like an uncomfortable move.
4. Someone was brushing past the curtains stage-right during a very serious moment in the show.
5. The fabulous actor playing Mrs. Bracknell - the nape of the neck showed a lot of regular hair under the wig.
6. It was interesting that the MARTA train went by and caused vibrations during a very appropriate scene. Nice touch.
7. The umbrella ...was just wondering what was going on with the umbrella and if it needed to be fixed. It was very loose.
8. The priest's jacket was ripped under the right arm. Wasn't sure if that was on purpose.

Other than that, the show was fantastic! Very good intellectual humor and facial expressions were divine. Well done, Theater Decatur!
