This production will be around 45 minutes long performed alongside two other one-act plays. This production is set in modern day. It will be a non-realistic and highly stylised production that explores celebrity culture and their sometimes frivolous treatment of marriage. 

The characters and audition pieces are as follows:

Jack: Tries to be sensible but usually doesn't manage it. It his lies that begin the play and lead to its confusions. He is in love with Gwendolyn. Page 2/3

Algernon:
He enjoys getting into scrapes and is never serious. He falls in love with Cecily. Page 2/3

Gwendolyn: Quite glamorous and driven. She is the more grown-up of the two young women. She wishes to marry Jack (er... I mean Earnest). Pages 18-20

Cecily: She is very childish, silly and girly. She falls for Algernon (or do I mean Earnest?) Pages 10 (from Algernon's entrance)/11/12

Miss Prism: Traditionally Cecily's governess but more like a security guard in this re-imagining. This role could be played by either a boy or a girl. Pages 10/29/30

Lady Bracknell: Gwendolyn's mother. She is very particular. This role could be played by a woman or a man in drag. Page 5 (from Gwendolyn's exit)/ 6/7(to Algernon's entrance)
