EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at the St. James Theatre in London during the historic 1895 production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," showcases a moment of witty banter between the play's beloved characters. In the foreground, we find the distinguished Mr. George Alexander as Algernon Moncrieff, engaging with Mr. George Canninge's Worthing in a playful exchange. Behind them, Worthing and Algy share a moment of camaraderie, while Algy (Allen Aynesworth) and Lane (Mr. Kinsey Peile) look on. At the heart of this scene is the enigmatic Miss Prism, played by Mrs. Canninge, who stands off to the side, her expression hinting at a secret she holds. Wilde's masterful comedy of manners, which premiered on February 14, 1895, was a sensation, delighting audiences with its clever dialogue and satirical commentary on Victorian society. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of the production and the charm of its iconic characters.
