WIN! Grand Cinema tickets Tour de force of English comedy


MEAN GIRLS (12A); The Grand Cinema; from tomorrow


CADY Heron (Lindsay Lohan) has been living in South Africa, where she was home-schooled by her parents, who are zoologists. They move back to a suburb of Chicago and suddenly Cady is thrust into the social jungle of North Shore High School. Naively, Cady thinks the social


butterflies really are her friends, not realising that they have nasty stings. Cady soon learns the true


nature of the popular girls clique when she admits to a crush on queen bee Regina George's ex­ boyfriend, Aaron Samuels. Cady must learn how to sur­


vive this new environment. Help­ ing her find her way are Ms Nor- bury and a few not-so-cool kids. As its 12A certificate suggests,


this is a comedy aimed at the teenage market, but a comedy with a dark side. Analyse it and it falls apart - is anyone really naive enough to imagine that a clique of “A-list” teenage girls isn’t prone to bitchiness? You’d have to be from Mars, not Africa, to miss that one. So don’t bother to anal­ yse, just enjoy it for what it is.

“I HAVE nothing to declare but my genius,” Oscar Wilde claimed on arriving in the United States and “The Importance of Being Earnest” is certainly a work of comic genius. No matter how often I see it, I


laugh at the clever epigrams and skilful dialogue. The wonderfully strained politeness between Gwen­ dolen and Cecily, when both women imagine they are engaged to the same man, is a tour de force unequalled in English comedy. This joyful end-of-season pro­ duction, directed by Braham Mur­


ray, with beautiful set designs by Johanna Bryant and mouth- wateringly glamorous costumes is like a glass of chilled champagne. Jamie de Courcey is a delightful,


curly-headed Algernon, well- paired with Ian Shaw as the “Earnest” John Worthing. The objects of their desire, Gwendolen (Anna Hewson) and Cecily (Laura Rees), show clearly the steel beneath their feminine charms. As Algie acknowledges: “All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy.” And Gwendolen’s mother is one


of the great comic characters. Lady Bracknell. Gabrielle Drake is superb, con­


veying all her horror at John’s handbag origins through clenched teeth, and she brings out every


nuance of the character’s snobbisk selfishness. Joanna David, as Miss Prism,


and John Watts, as Canon Cha­ suble, are excellent comic support as is John Conroy, who plays both servants. The programme makes much ol


Wilde’s tragic downfall and tht underl3dng references to homosex­ uality, but also to the depth of hh understanding of people, trans­ formed into a glittering farce, but with a reality that has made it endure, making Wilde almost as popular as Shakespeare. Go and listen to those sparkling


epigrams and consider their truth as well as satirical wit. Box office bookings on: 0161
