Who Played Miss Prism in The Importance of Being Earnest

Miss Prism is a role in The Importance of Being Earnest, a play that opened Broadway in 2011.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities - not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

16 actors have played Miss Prism in The Importance of Being Earnest.
