I am with Tatum when I say that Comedy of Manners is one of my favorite things to play. I personally like to dress well and use manners so it is so fun for me to take that, amplify it, then play out the most ridiculous scenarios. As with Tatum, I really like "Importance of Being Ernest" for it's dry, tongue in cheek, humor. Everyone is trying so hard to stay polite even though they are in a dire or precarious situation. Also, the "Importance of Ernest" is the only show that I really know of, besides "The Rivals", that utilizes comedy of manners. I am sure there are others, but I really do enjoy how Wilde portrayed comedy of manners.
