Too civilized to admit that you enjoy
The Jersey Shore
? What if you could pretend that Snooki and Crew’s earthy bon mots were actually written by that AP English-approved wag, Oscar Wilde? In the spirit of bridging the gaps between high and low culture, old and new media, foppish Victorians and gorilla juiceheads, Playbill.com is presenting a charming video series called ”
Jersey Shore
Gone Wilde,” in which the stars of the current Broadway production of
The Importance of Being Earnest
read transcripts from
The Jersey Shore
as their
Earnest
characters. It’s almost as good as
the Victorian
Wire
or
Victorian
Inception
.
You can watch parts two through five here .
