Jack
Worthing: Mid 20s-Mid 30s, seemingly responsible and respectable
young man who leads a double life, in Hertfordshire, where he has a country
estate, he is known as Jack, in London he is known as Ernest, his family
pedigree is a mystery, but his seriousness and sincerity are evident, in
love with his friend Algernon's cousin, Gwendolen Fairfax;
Algernon
Moncrieff: Mid 20s-Mid 30s, charming, idle, decorative bachelor,
nephew of Lady Bracknell, cousin of Gwendolen Fairfax, and best friend
of Jack Worthing, whom he has known for years as Ernest, brilliant, witty,
selfish, amoral, given to making delightful paradoxical and succinct pronouncements,
has invented a fictional invalid friend, "Bunbury," to get him out of unpleasant
or dull social obligations; Gwendolen Fairfax: Mid 20s-Early
30s, Algernon's cousin, Lady Bracknell's daughter, in love with Jack, whom

intellectual, cosmopolitan, utterly pretentious, fixated on the name "Ernest"
and says she will not marry a man without that name; Cecily Cardew:

found and adopted Jack when Jack was a baby, probably the most realistically
drawn character in the play, like Gwendolen she is obsessed with the name

idea, rather than the virtuous-sounding name, has prompted her to fall
in love with Jack's brother Ernest in her imagination, and to invent an
elaborate romance and courtship between them;
Miss Prism:
50s-60s, Cecily's governess, endless source of pedantic bromides and clichés,
highly approves of Jack's presumed respectability, and harshly criticizes
his "unfortunate" brother, puritan though she is, her severe pronouncements
have a way of going so far over the top that they inspire laughter, seems
to have a softer side despite her rigidity, entertains romantic feelings
for Dr. Chasuble; Rev. Chasuble: 60s+, rector on Jack's estate,
like Miss Prism, he is the source of Victorian moral judgments, but appears

mocking religious conventions, however, beneath the religious exterior,
his heart secretly beats for Miss Prism; Lane: 30s-60s, traditional
English manservant; Merriman: 30s-60s, traditional English

belt and legit voice; Sister Mary Lazarus: 60s-Early 70s,
female, tough, out of the Depression Era, full of vinegar and humor, with
twice the energy of anyone half her age, has seen them come and go, and

roll up her sleeves and dig in, strong belt and legit a plus, but needs
to be able to rap and be funny; Monsignor: 50s-60s, male,
stately but benevolent, with a "Going My Way" twinkle, think Joseph Maher
from the film, strong character actor with strong baritone voice; TJ:

exceedingly loyal to The Man, strong baritone, but needs a very strong
workable disco falsetto; Dinero: 20-35, male, Latino, Shank's
bodyguard who keeps mouthing off in Spanish, can be baritone or tenor,
