National Theatre Live: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST A National Theatre Live presentation
"A flawless piece of comic theatre."—Broadway World
"Ncuti Gatwa leads a Wilde party of irresistible anarchic charm."—The Guardian
"Fun, fabulous and fiery, it’s a hoot."—London Theatre
Three-time Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who, Sex Education) in this joyful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy. While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate. Max Webster (Life of Pi) directs this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance, filmed live from the National Theatre in London.
