A very random sort of comment-- I love this connection-- but that is one of my favorite parts of The Importance of Being Earnest.

He was very warm and lovable... and the way he delivered that line was just magic. :D

Chels! I didn't know that you have a LiveJournal. I've just friended you.

I think that it's positively brilliant that you played Gwendolen. And that you had a sweetie-pie Jack (er, yes, that's the Very Learned Technical Name Applied by Literary Theorists, I'm sure). Your description of his pondering and eyebrows is perfect! :)
