This Week’s Flashback -Rev. Chasuble in "The Importance of Being Earnest"

Here’s something I just discovered in the archives of my old student-theatre group: The Oslo Players. Though the group itself no longer exists, the web-page is still out there, and an interesting record of the startling amount of activity we had. Goodness knows how any of us managed to study at all! Anyway, I was intrigued to be reminded of the fact that my recent appearance as the priest in "The Sound of Music"  was not the first man of the cloth I have played. As this rather fuzzy photograph shows, that distinction goes to the part of the Reverend Chasuble from Oscar Wilde’s "The Important of Being Earnest" which I seem to recollect was done as a performed reading at the University of Oslo and some schools way back in the nineties. Come to think of it, apart from reading his stories, this marks the only work of Oscar Wilde I have been involved with. Hmmm. Perhaps something should be done about this!
