The Patriots went 22 yards on five plays to set up a fourth-and-3 from the Dolphins 33-yard line. Quarterback Mac Jones hit tight end Mike Gesicki for what appeared to be heading for a 1-yard loss.

Theater review: Talented Guthrie cast improves upon ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:50:28 GMT

It’s been 60 years since celebrated English theater director Sir Tyrone Guthrie opened the Minneapolis theater that now bears his name. And it’s worth remembering that one of his central missions was to create new productions of “the classics.”The Guthrie’s season-opening take on Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” provides a welcome reminder that “the classics” don’t have to be suffered through like a necessary medicine, good only for your intellectual edification but not particularly flavorful. Director David Ivers’ vibrant staging strikes an ideal balance between silliness and thoughtful social satire, taking what can be an overly wordy play and lending it a delightful physicality, augmented by a consistently eye-catching design scheme.Among the keys to its success is Ivers’ emphasis upon the eccentricities of each of its nine characters. Almost every actor has crafted a memorable creation in this outrageous comedy of manners, taking Wilde’s words in all sorts of inve...
