REVIEW: Pendle Borderline ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’
It has been directed by Helen Christie, and she has put together a great cast. The costumes and stage setting are an asset and there is some good technical work, too.
There is an immaculate performance from Simon Robinson as Algernon, full of character and comedy.

Hide AdAdrian Hartley, as Jack Worthing, is also superb, Eleanor Jolley creates a dominant, Thatcherish Lady Bracknell, and Frances Spencer is a charming Gwendolen.
Rosie Butler cleverly plays Cecily, with Keilli Broome as Miss Prism and Tony Cummings as Canon Chausable.
There is a double role for Gordon Ingleby - he is Algernon’s butler Lane, then Jack’s doddery Merriman. Eddie Burgess is the footman.
You can see The Importance of Being Earnest at the Muni tonight and tomorrow at 7-30 p.m.
