Worst Mother-in-Law

Who do you think would make the worst mother-in-law: Miss Havisham or Lady Bracknell?
"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."

Dear Leonard,
I once had the opportunity of playing Lady Bracknell and I deeply regret letting it slip. At the time I did not know the director and it was to be done out of town. But my taste in comedy might have led to strife. I wanted to have a pearl handled colt revolver which I intended to produce on the line: "Rise, sir from that semi recumbent posture." Also, I wanted to have a book as big as a lectern bible for the scene when she was taking Worthing's details. I also wanted to wear high heels and a high hat and have the actors as small as possible as well as the doorway into Algernon's flat in Albany. I would have caused a nightmare.
On the subject of comedy I played Macbeth in London and several people said they had not realised what a nice chap he was. That surprised me. As for the choice, mine would be Lady B, though I probably would have done a great Miss Haversham!
Best wishes
Tom
