(Are the “Importance of being…” puns wearing thin yet?)

Photos from the dress are now up on the dedicated page for The Importance of Being Earnest.  The show began its run last night and is being well-received.

Many thanks to Howerd for taking them and getting them to stac-worcester.com so quickly!

Also, here’s something which didn’t find it’s way to the website so promptly…!

The Birmingham Mail anticipated our Wildean production back on September 19th, focusing on the much-talked-about “handbag” line of Lady Bracknell.  See “Patricia bags star role in Wilde classic” by John Slim.

STAC’s next two plays are both modern depictions of love lives, and sex lives, in turmoil.

Often dark, but shot through with knowing humour, Closer and The Blue Room stand together as complimentary twin shows for our spring season.

Closer is in final rehearsals for its run next week and is directed by Math Jones (a profile will follow on the blog momentarily).

Bob Churchill and Emily Portsmouth star in The Blue Room

Meanwhile The Blue Room features in the Worcester News today, with words from both actors in the two-person show.

The text of the article follows below.

[UPDATE: Closer made the same paper! See this subsequent post.]
