A Trivial Comedy for Serious People
The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Jeanette Nolan is the Lady Bracknell one dreams of when reading Widle’s favorite play. She is the quinticential 1880’s obnoxious but uniquely charming British Socialite, with a genius for light, unanticipated comedy banter with her nephew and with Earnest is fast. Her illogic keeps everyone on guard.
Les Tremayne, a British stage star who became famous as the leading man of radio’s "First Nighter” series, and appeared on thirty six thousand lead roles for other top American network shows.
Other cast standouts are Kathleen Freeman as Earnest’s Nanny.
Linda Henning and Bairbre Dowling offer more delicious feminine inanity. Sean McClory plays two butlers as only a brave Abbey Theatre man might attempt. Richard Erdman is fast and clipped as the foil for all, and disappoints his Aunt Augusta by not serving her favorite cucumber sandwiches at tea.
Dan O'Herlihy is the host and John Harlan announces.

WILLIAM SHATNER
THE OLDEST MAN TO GO INTO SPACE
BUT WE HAVE PROOF HE'S BEEN THERE BEFORE
A fantastical adaptation of Moby Dick, Ray Bradbury takes audiences past the moon and the stars
in search of the greatest and brightest comet in the universe. Join a deranged captain,
an eight-foot-tall telepathic spider, and our reluctant hero. You can call him Ishmael.
