Richardson, Carrington, Weaver & Associates

Comedy. A rousing romantic escapade and absurd comedic masterpiece about class and etiquette. In a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, charming bachelors Jack and Algernon lead double lives to woo the two young ladies who have won their hearts. When they are caught in their lies, the stage is set for clever manipulations and hilarious confusion.

Oscar Wilde dishes up scathing social satire, effervescent wit, and high farce, making this one of the most cherished plays in the English language. 

Director: John T. "Jack" Hall

What the critics say:

• “Wilde’s witty style keeps even the savviest modern viewers on their toes. [RLT’s] rendition, directed by John T. “Jack” Hall, picks up on all of Wilde’s clever cues and delivers a funny social commentary that astute viewers of all ages are sure to enjoy.” -- Triangle Arts and Entertainment
   
• “[RLT’s] production is enjoyable and fun, a fitting representation of brilliant text. Folks familiar with the play and those who have never seen it before will all enjoy Wilde’s antics and this particular production of the work.” -- Broadway World
   
• “The actors go just enough over the top to keep the edge on their antics, and to keep us thoroughly engaged. In short, they are hilarious... In all, a fine cast and crew, well directed, well rehearsed, well performed. Bravo!” -- Boom! Magazine
