8 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 9 How do you feel your career as an actor influences you as a director?

Well, it gives me… Maybe I shouldn’t even say this, I sound terribly boastful, though I don’t mean it that way… But it gives me a kind of authority with them because they know I speak their language. It’s a kind of “bird speak,” the way actors speak—some special language— and I speak it too, because I was one for so long. I love days spent in the rehearsal room; for me they are an absolute joy, because there is no past and there is no future. There is just the moment that you’re dealing with. And I’m a worrier, so to be entrenched in the instant is really such a pleasure, I can’t begin to tell you.

What were your goals for the physical production—the sets and costumes? What did you feel they needed to accomplish? Have you directed The Importance of Being Earnest before? I don’t think this is a play that should No, but I’ve acted in it quite often. be mucked around with. I mean, we could do it in pink space suits, but Which roles have you played? I really don’t feel that’s what it is. When Barry [Edelstein, Old Globe I played Cecily when I was at school, and professionally twice. I’ve played Gwendolen twice, and I’ve played Miss Prism. Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director] I’ve never played Lady Bracknell, although I was offered it at The Old Vic in a wonderful production, which I subsequently and I talked about it, he said, “I saw, with somebody who was far better than I would have been!

What do you like best about the play? Is there something you hope It is an extraordinarily elegant and unusual play. It’s sui generis; nothing else is like it. It is built on paradox. It probably audiences will take away from ought to be called The Unimportance of Being Earnest, because that’s really what it’s about. I think that there is a sort of the show? modern relevance to it, because it’s about hypocrisy and the kind of hypocrisy that is fashionable. I hope that they’ll understand that Are there things about the play you find particularly challenging, or that make it difficult to produce? frivolity has value. There’s also this idea that hypocrisy is to be despised, Wilde has his entirely own idiosyncratic way of talking, and the music is on the page if you can hear it. But actors can’t but it’s a very gently done message. necessarily do that; it really depends on what they’ve been brought up to read or to hear. I am extraordinarily lucky—and Wilde didn’t write the play to disguise a message. The construct is I was very diligent—in getting a cast that knows what the tune of Oscar Wilde is, because not everybody does. the wit rather than anything else. Classic plays are like something thrown over a ship’s rail—a message in a bottle. The plays that What skills did you feel your actors needed to make this piece work? survive are kind of pickled in their own wit, and they last forever. This play is one of those rare things; I think it’s never going to go With period plays I always think the great skill is to make the language, however formal, sound as if you just thought of away.  it.

When you were casting Helen Carey as Lady Bracknell, what were you looking for?

Well, the role is always defined by the woman who plays it, like the chicken and the egg, but I would say Helen is a scimitar rather than a tank. Those are probably the two main directions you could take, before you start getting more subtle than that.

10 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 11 Wilde was sentenced to two years of hard labor, most of which he spent in solitary confinement, permitted only the Bible and Pilgrim’s Progress to read. Upon his release in 1897, Wilde immediately left England forever, his health and his spirits greatly weakened. He died of cerebral meningitis in France in 1900 at the age of 46. He never wrote another play.

While Wilde was in prison, he penned a long letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, which he was never permitted to mail. It would later be published under the name De Profundis. In that letter, Wilde wrote, “For the first year of my imprisonment I did nothing else…but wring my hands in impotent despair, and say, AN IRIDESCENT FILAMENT ‘What an ending, what an appalling ending!’ Now I try to say to myself, and sometimes when I am not torturing myself do really the life and work of oscar wilde and sincerely say, ‘What a beginning, what a By Danielle Mages Amato wonderful beginning!’ It may really be so.
