Lynn Redgrave cast in ‘Earnest’

Lynn Redgrave will appear as Lady Bracknell in the Ahmanson Theatre’s production of “The Importance of Being Earnest,” Jan. 22 through March 5. To be directed by Peter Hall, the production is a different revival from the “Earnest” that was anticipated when the Ahmanson season was announced in April. The earlier “Earnest” was to be produced in London and would have stopped in L.A. before Broadway.
