The name Earnest is merely a means to an end for this comedy, in which the efforts of two young men in securing the attentions of attractive young women result in mistaken identity and double lives. It works the words and actions of the characters are all that is needed to tell the class story. This includes staging the performance on an essentially bare stage with little in the way of the luxurious opulence sometimes used to denote the privileged social standing of the protagonists in the story. The production is slick, uncomplicated and thoroughly satisfying, with the wit and satire of the script on show at all times, unsullied by unnecessary extras. The play is directed by Geordie Brookman and stars one of Australia’s best-known actors, Nancye Hayes as Lady Bracknell. ![]() Well, there’s nothing trivial about its enduring capacity to delight audiences and this continues to be true with the State Theatre’s current Adelaide production of Wilde’s 1890’s classic.

And although he has written Spidey before (and it has been good and fun) Spectacular-Spider Man #310 is not only his best issue yet, it’s one of the best and purest Spider-Man stories you will ever read. What makes for a good Web-head tale is what’s under the mask Peter Parker. The creators who get what makes Spidey work know that it’s not the powers, or the origin, or even the Rogues Gallery (though Spider-Man does have some of the best villains in comics) that make for a good Spider-Man story. In the right creative hands, Spidey becomes infinitely relatable. Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, has always been one of comics most enduring characters. ![]() Letters by: VC’s Travis Lanham “No matter what…he’s never going to stop trying” -Peter Parker When filmmakers set out to document Spider-Man’s impact on New York City, they couldn’t have predicted what was going to happen to them next.
