March 1895 Premiere of The Importance of Being Earnest

1 From the Artistic Director

“I hope you will enjoy my ‘trivial’ play,” wrote Oscar Wilde to a friend about The Importance of Being Earnest. “It is written by a butterfly for butterflies. It has as its philosophy…that we should treat all trivial things seriously, and the serious things in life with sincere and studied triviality.”

Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde had already produced three enormous hits in London’s West End within three years when on a snow-choked Valentine’s Day in 1895 his greatest success premiered at St. James’s Theatre. The opening night of

The Importance of Being Earnest was a major social event. How I would have loved to have attended that glittering event!

Oscar himself was the impossibly witty, exquisitely dressed dandy that he relished presenting to his audience in his successful plays. Writing for a Victorian high society where social conventions dictated all aspects of elite life, Wilde was the perfect aesthete shooting barbed darts at a society that he both eagerly embraced and ruthlessly satirized. His plays were commercial pieces written for the fashionable West End theaters, but they have never left the world’s stages since they premiered. Under Stephen Wrentmore’s inspired direction, I couldn’t be more pleased to open our season with a fresh look at a true comic masterpiece.

I hope that you will find our 2013-2014 Season to be a journey of rich rewards. Many of our favorite artists will be returning to our stages along with some wonderful new voices. Lou Bellamy, who directed our memorable productions of Jitney, A Raisin in the Sun and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, returns on the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “I Have a Dream” speech with the moving The Mountaintop. David Saar, Founding Artistic Director of Arizona’s beloved Childsplay, will join us once again to take us Around the World in 80 Days. Two dynamic new voices, Shana Cooper and James Still, will make their ATC directorial debuts on our stages with the Arizona premieres of the hit award-winning Broadway plays Venus in Fur and Other Desert Cities. And, of course, I couldn’t be happier that so many of ATC’s magical artisans in our set, prop, costume, sound and lighting shops will be creating beautiful productions for us again this year.

See you at the theatre!

David Ira Goldstein Artistic Director

2 From the Interim Managing director

Dear Patrons:

Welcome to another season of exciting and stimulating theatre at Arizona Theatre Company! It is such a pleasure to begin a new year even with the many challenges ahead. The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorite plays and, no matter how many times you’ve seen it, it never fails to amuse and surprise an audience with its twists and turns.

As many of you may have seen in the media recently, ATC is facing a daunting time. After two years of retirement, I have been asked to return to the theatre as Interim Managing Director. I’m here because I care deeply about the future of our theatre company, as I hope you do. Although this is a difficult chapter in ATC’s long and distinguished history, I am confident that, with your help, we will weather this storm as we have weathered others over my previous sixteen years with the organization. However, the large deficit that has accumulated this last fiscal year must be dealt with if we are to see ATC become financially stable again. Therefore, the Board of Trustees, David Ira Goldstein, the staff, and I are working together to make sure that the theatre has a solid future.

Internal steps have been taken. The annual operating budget for this fiscal year has been cut dramatically, although the work on stage will remain at its high level; David and I are actively working with the Board to raise $1 million in the next few months; and the community is being asked to support ATC now as never before.

As Arizona Theatre Company celebrates its 47th season, we hope you will consider a generous gift. Please take home the envelope in your playbill, think about what an enjoyable evening you have just experienced in the theatre, and decide how you can help your theatre address its current situation and regain its solid financial footing.

If you have questions or need more information about any of this – no matter how large or small – please don’t hesitate to call me at 520-884-8210. I will be happy to discuss it with you.

Thank you.

With immense gratitude,

Jessica L. Andrews Interim Managing Director

About the Play

Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde was born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a renowned physician and his mother was a poet whose work would later influence her son’s writing. Wilde was a bright and successful student in his youth, and he was awarded a scholarship to attend Trinity College in Dublin in 1871. At the end of his first year he received the Foundation Scholarship – the highest honor available to undergraduates – and upon his graduation in 1874 was awarded a scholarship to continue his education at Oxford, where he would make his first attempts at creative writing. After completing his education, Wilde moved to London and concentrated his efforts on writing poetry. He published his first collection,Poems , in 1881 and established himself as a promising emerging writer. In 1882, Wilde embarked on a nine-month American lecture tour, where he met with some of the most prominent American writers and scholars of his day. He then continued to lecture in England and Ireland until 1884, when he married the wealthy Englishwoman Constance Lloyd. The couple had two children: Cyril, in 1885, and Vyvyan the following year. In 1885, Wilde was hired to revive the once-popular Lady’s World magazine. While OScar Wilde, 1882 serving as editor he published many of his greatest works including a Photo by Napoleon Sarony collection of children’s stories, a collection of essays advocating the tenets of aestheticism, and his first and only novel,The Picture of Dorian Gray.

To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. – Lady Bracknell The Importance of Being Earnest

About the Play

Wilde’s first play,Lady Windermere’s Fan, opened in 1892 to great critical and popular acclaim. Having found success on the stage, Wilde continued to focus on the theatre as his primary endeavor, producing such plays as Salomé (1891), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895), and his most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). He came to be known for his remarkable wit and satirical style that combined seemingly frivolous comedies of manners with darker and more serious undertones. In the midst of his immense literary success and while The Importance of Being Earnest was still in its premiere production at St. James’s Theatre, Wilde filed a private prosecution against The Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde’s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, and had accused Wilde of homosexuality – a punishable offense in England at the time. During the course of the trial, Wilde’s charges were dismissed and eventually turned against him, resulting in his arrest for gross indecency related to homosexual behavior. He was sentenced to two years in prison, and his ensuing notoriety caused the close of Earnest after a modest 86 performances.

Wilde never recovered personally or financially after being ripped from the Gwendolen heights of popular and literary success. He fled to France after his release Act 2 & 3 (Anneliese van der Pol) from prison in 1897, and he spent the remainder of his life in abject Designed by Yoon Bae © poverty. He produced only a single notable work after serving his sentence, a poem entitled “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” recounting his experiences in prison. He died in Paris of meningitis, impoverished and alone, on November 20, 1900, at the age of 46.

About the Play

Aestheticism Oscar Wilde was a staunch proponent of aestheticism, an artistic and literary movement of the late 19th century that advocated the value of art for the sake of beauty, rather than for any social or political agenda. Aesthetes argued that art, including literature, need not serve any moral or “useful” purpose but that its function was to simply enrich life through the refined sensual pleasure that art could provide. They advocated the theory that life should imitate art rather than nature, which was crude, random, and devoid of design. Aestheticism greatly relied upon the use of suggestion, sensuality, symbolism, and synaesthetic effects, or the relationships between words, colors, and music to create the sense of beauty that it so valued. As a spokesman for aestheticism, Wilde attempted authorship in multiple literary genres before turning to drama, including the publication of a collection of essays on aesthetics, Intentions, in 1891. Writing for the stage provided Wilde with a unique and appealing opportunity to construct precise aesthetic details and combine them with larger social themes, a style and approach that resounded with London society, and made him Oscar Wilde one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian period.
