The Importance of Being Earnest

“This show is outstanding comedy, delivered with perfect timing, superb bravado, with elegant costumes and set comfortably in and among the audience members in a cabaret, café setting. Director John Butterfield has excelled again!”

– Charles Jarrett, Rossmoor News

“This is an excellent production of the Wilde classic, both in terms of the overall quality and in its intimacy…”

– Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times, 2008

“[Oscar] Wilde’s unflinching look at British high society of a century ago gets a winning revival from Butterfield 8 in Concord, which continues its gender-bending tradition by casting the role of Lady Bracknell with a man (Alan Cameron). He’s hilarious, and the whole show benefits from strong acting and director John Butterfield’s charming tone.”
