We're in England in 1895. Algy and Jack are debonair bachelors-about-town who plan to court Gwendolen and Cecily, despite opposition from the formidable Lady Bracknell. Jack was adopted as a baby, and discovering the truth surrounding his mysterious origins becomes critical to his future happiness. This co-production between Alison Larkin Presents and Steven Jay Cohen is unique in that it is the first full cast audio production performed by two people. James Warwick is most famous for his starring roles on television including Tommy in Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence series on PBS for Masterpiece Theater. He has also played many leading roles on Broadway and in the West End, originating the role of Brad in the Rocky Horror Show, playing King Arthur in Camelot. His last Starring role in an Oscar Wilde play was in Peter Hall's Production of The Ideal Husband on Broadway. Alison Larkin is the award-winning narrator of over 150 audiobooks, an internationally acclaimed comedienne and the bestselling author of The English American, a novel. Hailed by The Times as hugely entertaining and by AudioFile magazine as unparalleled--a narrator to seek; she is in her element playing all the women in Oscar Wilde's most famous play. Critic Reviews: What is arguably Oscar Wilde's most popular work has stood the test of time as a classic comedy. In this new audio edition, narrators James Warwick and Alison Larkin take on the roles of all nine characters. Both performers expertly create unique personalities for all the roles, showing the extent of their talents. Even with only two actors at work, it's nearly impossible to confuse the characters except where Wilde intends. As the characters indulge in high jinks, Warwick and Larkin are a delightful combination--for listeners familiar with the story and newcomers. Get ready to listen and laugh as Wilde's classic comedy comes to life once more. ( Audiofile Magazine)
