Available roles:
Jack Worthing: A young, eligible bachelor about town.
Algernon Moncrieff: Another young, eligible bachelor, he is a languid poser of the leisure class, bored by conventions and looking for excitement.
Lady Bracknell: The perfect symbol of Victorian earnestness — the belief that style is more important than substance and that social and class barriers are to be enforced
The Honorable Gwendolen Fairfax: Lady Bracknell’s daughter, exhibiting some of the sophistication and confidence of a London socialite, believes style to be important, not sincerity.
Cecily Cardew: Jack Worthing’s ward, is of debutante age, 18. She is romantic and imaginative, a silly and naïve girl, she declares that she wants to meet a “wicked man.”
Miss Prism: Cecily’s governess and a symbol of Victorian moral righteousness.
Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D.: Like Miss Prism, he is the source of Victorian moral judgments.
Lane: Algernon’s butler
Merriman: Jack’s butler
