SUMMARY:An “Unhinged” Staged Reading of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Eric Tucker\, Artistic Director of Bedlam Theatre and two-time Wall Street Journal "Director of the Year" (2014\, 2021)\, will direct Savage Wonder Art Center's upcoming "unhinged and wildly staged" reading of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest with a three-person cast. Reimagined through the anarchic lens of Savage Wonder's signature style\, the production will take place in Savage Wonder's Parlor inside the newly opened Savage Wonderground\, a subterranean art space located beneath Beacon's Main Street\, offering audiences an evening of professional theater that's immersive\, irreverent\, and joyfully chaotic.\n\nWhat begins with cucumber sandwiches and double lives quickly spirals into theatrical chaos equal parts literary wit and sensory free-for-all. "Doing Earnest with three actors is a challenge that's going to be really fun for the audience\," says Tucker. "I'm excited   and a little curious - to watch the actors careen from one classic Wilde character to another to keep both the play and the performance itself afloat."
