< Back The Importance of Being Earnest - By Oscar Wilde ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ to 18 May 2022 Written by Oscar Wilde Reimagined by Nick Sample Set in the present day, this will be a deliciously entertaining, updated staging of one of the best comedies ever written… “Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.” What happens when two pretty girls both fall in love with men they believe to be called Ernest? Will they learn that a rose by any other name still smells as sweet? Bachelor Jack Worthing and his best mate Algernon Moncrieff hope to Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. But the lads’ courtship of the women is far from straight forward! With double identities, plenty of ‘Bunburying’ and a number of hostile encounters with the formidable Lady Bracknell, the pair become embroiled in a web of mistaken identities with hilarious consequences. As funny and as relevant today as when it was first written! 5 STAR REVIEW - Rick Bowen at Stagestruck WITH a pre performance soundtrack that includes songs by Kylie and ABC and a silver chrome table and chairs, you’re in no doubt you’re about to experience a very different version of this masterpiece of a play. Director Nick Sample’s decision to transport this exquisitely crafted comedy to the Internet age works. And it works spectacularly well. Previous productions have irritated me and while there were obviously Wilde’s witticisms to enjoy, I always found it hard to like this menagerie of irritating, entitled upper class twits. But, thanks to Sample’s skill and ingenuity he manages to make me like them and actually enjoy spending time in the company of the scheming Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing. It would be unjust to let Sample take all the credit though as the entire company displays a sense of timing that would sit very well on a professional stage. Chris Shoop-Worall and Jamie Sloan are an engaging and natural double act as Moncrieff and Worthing, as they deftly try to catch the objects of their affections. Antonia Whitehead is a formidable Gwendolen Fairfax, who has her sights well and truly set on Jack, for a reason I refuse to divulge to those who may be unfamiliar with the play and there’s a memorable spat between her and Cecily Cardew, played by Lauren Robinson, after a classic misunderstanding. There are some social references that obviously date the play. Cecily, for instance has a governess played by Sarat Broughton who gives her best performance at this theatre to date for me as the awkward, uptight Miss Prism and there’s a memorable scene with her and Adrian Grace as the lovable, old school cleric the Rev Frederick Chasuble. Wilde also uses his genius to send up the class system and the way it gives the upper classes carte blanche to behave as they like. If the cast serves us up a treat, so does Barry Purves with a clever, eye catching set. A production to really go Wilde about - this is the Garrick’s best comedy of the season for me. Until January 21. The box office is on 0161 928 1677 or you can book online at www.altrinchamgarrick.co.uk. Star rating - ***** Number 9 - Matthew Dougall "A Haaaaaaandbaaag?!!" - well, no, not really.. more of a ladies' Puma sports bag actually.... (the logo is immaterial...!) Yes, this was Altrincham Garrick's latest production of the Oscar Wilde favourite, 'The Importance Of Being Earnest', but not as we know it. Updated to the present day, with references to politics, social media, computers, and goodness knows what else, the script had been changed somewhat to reflect our current times. It did however still retain most of the original dialogue, and hereby hangs the rub. Wilde's writing is extremely stylised, a true comedy of manners, and his speech patterns and rhythms seemed to be at odds with the modern world and references thrown in. It didn't quite work, but it was a brave effort and once one became used to this, it became much easier to accept. A striking and actually quite simple set design of a single angular wall dividing the stage which turns round from town house to country worked surprisingly well, and Nick Sample's direction was a pure joy. Obviously Sample has a great sense of impish fun, which was shown throughout, adding his own little comedic touches. The production was slick and tight, and the overall arc of the production was considered and well-placed. To my surprise, a short scene in the second act - which is normally omitted, and not even printed in some playscripts, a scene involving a certain George Gribsby - had been included in this production, and it was the first time that this particular reviewer had seen it performed live. And although I understand it's omission, it was extremely interesting to see it performed, as it did add another layer of deceit, duplicity, comedy, etc, that would not have been there without it. Heading a strong cast were our two would-be Earnests; Chris Shoop-Worrall as Algernon Moncrief, and Jamie Sloan as John (Jack) Worthing. Both had made their characters their own, and showed a lovely understanding of both their roles and their characters' development. Playing 'against' them were their two love-interests; Antonia Whitehead as a very forthright, commanding, determined Gwendoline, whilst Lauren Robinson's Cecily Cardew was no less determined but a little more demure. Again they worked well both individually and together, and as a foursome the quartet were formidable. Adrian Grace gave a very understated and believable portrayal of a village vicar, Rev. Dr. Chasuble, and Sarat Broughton gave a very secure performance as the unwitting germinator of the whole farce. Sarah Kirk gave the role of Lady Bracknell a new, modern, and interesting style, but for this reviewer at least, it felt a little out of kilter with the domineering 'gorgon' that she really needs to be. Gwendoline's character was a Lady-Bracknell-in-training, and I was waiting for the full force of her 'majestic indignation' which sadly never materialised. A very proficient and focused production, which may not be to everyone's liking, but one cannot deny that the cast gave excellent performances, the direction was clever and original, and the play still extremely funny and well worth the braving the inclement winter weather to be so entertained. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Car Parking.

They are spoken in Oscar Wilde's comedy, 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at the Garrick this week. You can often judge the quality of a play by the way these words are spoken. They are uttered when Lady Bracknell discovers that her prospective son-in-law, Jack, was found as a baby in a handbag at a railway station. The words first became famous when Dame Edith Evans spoke them in the 1952 film. In this version, Alison Davis's booming, throaty, upper-class voice make her the ideal person for the overpowering part. She gets the intonation of those two words right even though they are nothing like Dame Edith's. The rest of the cast successfully capture the style and feel of the upper-class in-crowd who are constantly trying to be other people instead of being true to themselves. The play is so full of charm that it doesn't really matter that it has a flimsy plot and light weight characters. The storyline hangs on a thread. Jack becomes Ernest to capture the heart of Gwendolyn and Algernon also becomes Ernest because of his love for Cecily. The dialogue is pure, late nineteenth century banter full of irresistible one liners. I am so glad director, Barry Purves sticks to Wilde's script as used at the premier at the St. James Theatre, London, in 1895. I have seen versions of this play where it has been updated and, as a consequence, completely ruined. Phil Duncan is an ever so far back Algernon Moncrieff. His switch to becoming Ernest, the imaginary brother of Jack Worthing, (the one found in the handbag) is doubly amusing. Jack becomes the pivot around whom everyone else revolves thanks to a sterling performance by John Keen. Paula Keen and Sinead Parker as Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew sail through the amusingly indignant repartee that results when they mistakenly believe they are both engaged to the same man (naturally called Ernest!). There is even a fracas with a knife - if only a cake knife! Thanks not just to the cast but to the costume department, the Garrick successfully capture frivolity, snobbishness and humour amid the cucumber sandwiches and the audience love it. Star Rating ★★★★

< Back Hedda Gabler ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ to 8 June 2015 Hedda is a dangerously irresistible woman. She lives a highly respectable life with her reputable husband, George, in her perfectly run home- but is this enough? To relieve the boredom of respectability she turns to the lives of others for pleasure and excitement, determined to be a woman of consequence, whatever the consequences. It soon becomes apparent that Hedda is in a loveless marriage, but when George's academic and handsome rival turns up, their lives are thrown into disarray as passion and desperation embrace all those who have fallen under Hedda's fatal spell. Through gentle domestic humour and high tension, this story leads to its thrillingly unexpected climax. Ibsen's masterpiece of a woman's desire for freedom is still as fresh and shocking as when it was first performed. The many productions translated all over the world are testimony to the enduring popularity of this powerful story.

When that child seems to exist no longer, he, too, no longer wishes to exist.?And it is all due to the scheming of Hedda that he should be in that position.?I like the way the playwright slowly builds up the tension.?Also, Mike Shaw and his team are to be congratulated on the colourful and authentic Victorian costumes. After many years of reviewing, this is the first time I have seen this classic. The Garrick brings it to life and I congratulate them on having the courage to put it on.

< Back Matthew Bourne's The Car Man (Theatre Screening) ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ to 30 August 2020 We were due to show this screening of Matthew Bourne's ballet in May, but had to cancel that due to the Covid-19 lockdown. We are delighted to be able to offer it to you now. Bourne takes the steaming story of Bizert's opera Carmen and transposes it to a small town in America in the 1960’s. Thanks to the sweltering heat, there’s a frisson of sex and tension already in the air for the workers of a small garage diner – a claustrophobic setting familiar from many film noir. The arrival of a brutal, handsome stranger drives everyone even further into an explosion of lust, violence, betrayal, greed and revenge. This is a night from which no-one emerges unscathed. The music is based on Rodion Shchedrin's version of the opera, but the story is loosely based on James M. Cain's novel The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934) and the 1946 and 1981 films of the same name. This production is notable for its frank depictions of violence and sex, including homoeroticism. This is Bourne’s most erotic and shocking piece, aided by Bizet’s music hauntingly rearranged by Terry Davies, and once again beautifully designed by Lez Brotherson. The production was filmed live at Sadler’s Wells.

< Back Jumpers for Goalposts By Tom Wells ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ to 1 November 2021 A hilarious and heart-warming comedy about football, friendship and finding your way. “Barely Athletic” are part of a four-team five-a-side LGBTQ+ football league which Viv, their bullish head coach, is desperate to win. Or if they can’t win, at least they should try not to lose. Chucked out of the “Lesbian Rovers” for being too bossy, she desperately tries to instil some competitive spirit into the boys. Problem is, Beardy Geoff is copping off with the opposition, Danny is nursing a painful secret, Luke only joined because he fancies Danny and Viv’s brother-in-law Joe is trying to cope with his grief after losing his wife. Together, they might just be able to claw back up from the bottom of the league… Tom Wells’ drama bears the hallmarks of his warm comedic style, which were displayed in his previous hit play “The Kitchen Sink”, and is a paean to the virtues of friendship and love. Jumpers for Goalposts premiered at Watford Palace Theatre in 2013, before touring the UK, including a run at the Bush Theatre, London. Warning: Strong language .............................. Altrincham Garrick Playhouse is proud to support Since 1985, George House Trust has been inspiring people living with HIV to live healthy, confident lives by providing HIV support, advice and advocacy services. For more information email: talk@ght.org.uk -------------------- Review by Rick Bowen at Stagestruck JUMPERS For Goalposts will, on the evidence of Monday night’s performance, attract a different, younger audience. For far too many years Altrincham Garrick has been seen as a safe night out for older people and the appointment of artistic director Joseph Meighan, a dynamic and adventurous twenty something, is about to change that misguided perception. A quiet revolution is taking place on Barrington Road and it feels so exciting and exhilarating to be part of it. But this theatre is working hard to get the message across that the Garrick is a theatre for everybody. All power to their elbow, say I. Jumpers for Goalposts follow the misfortunes of Barely Athletic, a five-a-side team largely made up of gay men who struggle with the basics of the beautiful game. This doesn’t stop Viv, their straight talking coach with a very short fuse, encouraging her clueless charges to try to win the league in which they play. It’s certainly a league with a difference – one team plays in drag! The play takes place in the club’s dressing room, an ideal backdrop for writer Tom Wells to delve into the private lives of the players, including a burgeoning relationship between Danny and Luke. Danny carries a secret that he feels unable to share with the child like Luke, a lovable geek and a study in social awkwardness. Joe Meighan, who directs this engaging, absorbing and heart-warming comedy must have thought all his birthdays had come at once when Dan Ellis and Mason Lockwood turned up to audition for these roles. If anyone was ever born to play these parts it’s these two actors and Lockwood, who gets the funniest lines as Luke, displays a sense of comic timing that is simply second to none. Beverley Stuart-Cole is highly believable as Viv, Sebastian Farrell is also enjoyable as the team’s token straight man Joe, aka the keeper who couldn’t catch a cold and Lewis Sewell is perfect as the crackpot Beardy Geoff. Throughout the production the cast convinces the audience they’re watching a real football team, complete with the personality clashes you find in all organisations, sporting or otherwise. They say football is a game of two halves and that old adage can certainly be applied to Jumpers for Goalposts, with the best one liners saved for the second half. While this play contains some strong language it’s in context and gives the play a realistic feel. It’s sure to strike a chord with anyone whose set foot inside a sports club’s dressing room while not alienating those who haven’t. Great fun, with a dash of poignancy thrown in. Until May 14. Tickets are available from 0161 928 1677.

< Back Noises Off ˂ Previous Production Next Production ˃ to 16 December 2013 Other peoples' misfortunes have proven comic gold for the entertainment industry for a long time. What exactly is it about seeing someone onstage or on television going through the most terrible hardships that makes us want to come back for more? Whatever it is, that quality is present in abundance in Noises Off. Noises Off is the story of a hapless English acting troupe who are touring a production of a farce called Nothing On. Expect lots of doors slamming, sexual dalliances, confusions, and, of course, plates of sardines. The encompassing story about the acting troupe is every bit as convoluted. The questions about the actors - who's in love with whom, who doesn't know what, why is everyone angry - are every bit as deep as the questions about the characters they portray. One of the funniest plays of the last thirty years.
