NT Live presents The Importance of Being Earnest (12a)

National Theatre Live presents
The Importance of being Earnest 
by Oscar Wilde 
directed by Max Webster 

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.

Screening at The Hexagon - Max Webster (Life of Pi) directs this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance, previously filmed live from the National Theatre in London.
