Below is a list of character descriptions for your perusal. Thank you all so much for your consideration and we hope to see you all there!

John “Jack” Worthing, J.P., aka Ernest, 30’s, is a wealthy young gentleman who takes life seriously. He is a friend of Algernon whose behavior he sometimes deplores. Jack is Cecily’s guardian and is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax.

Algernon Moncrieff, 30’s, is the brilliantly witty and blithely selfish nephew of Lady Bracknell and cousin to Gwendolen Fairfax. He is Jack’s best friend and is in love with Cecily Cardew.

Gwendolen Fairfax , 20’s, is Algernon’s young, aristocratic, and charmingly superficial cousin and Lady Bracknell’s daughter. She is in love with Jack.

Lady Bracknell , 55 +, is domineering, cunning, mercenary, and snobbish. She is Gwendolen’s mother, and she means to see her daughter well-married. A formidable woman, Lady Bracknell is used to having her own way in all ways.

Cecily Cardew, 20’s, is a young woman given to romantic fantasies and intrigued by the wickedness of Jack’s brother. She is the simpler, more innocent country girl to Gwendolyn’s sophisticated city girl.

Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D. (Doctor of Divinity), 55 +, is the pleasant rector on Jack’s estate and has a crush on Miss Prism.

Miss Prism, 50 +, is Cecily’s pedantic governess. She is somewhat puritanical, but her softer side leans toward Dr. Chasuble. She once wrote an important novel.

Lane, 30 – 40’s, is Algernon’s manservant.
