Psst!
You must see “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Wild Rice at its new theatre in Funan Centre.
Just to be sure, you’ll have your temperature taken before you go in. Never know what you might catch with the stage so close to the audience!
Of course, it’s a brilliant play. Oscar Wilde at his best. Then there’s the cast – and what a cast. Singapore’s best actors – like Ivan Heng, Hossan Leong and Lim Kay Sui – all in the same show. Plus some real stars we haven’t seen before – like Daniel York Loh as John (Jack or Earnest?) Worthing.
A treat. And a treatment! With the nasty coronavirus going around, laughter is the best medicine after all.
And there’s also “music to my ears”. The Concordia Quartet gives us some delightful music to fill in the waiting time and interspersed into the play-time.
All in all, a thoroughly entertaining piece of theatre.
A classic performed to perfection by an all-male cast.
It’s on until 8 March.
And a last thought: Maybe you should have your temperature taken when you leave the theatre too.
Hot under the collar? Even though the air conditioning was colder than it needed to be, the play’s sure to raise more than a laugh.
Ken Hickson saw the play on Saturday 8 February.
