National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest
Saturday, September 13 2025 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
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. ????? “A flawless piece of comic theatre” — Broadway World ????? “A sparkling new production…that’s fiercely faithful to Wilde’s wickedly subversive spirit” — (London) Daily Mail ????? “Fun, fabulous and fiery, it’s a hoot” — London Theatre This production runs approximately three hours with one intermission. Part of Arts in the Afternoon, which is sponsored by Dr. James & Marcia Merrins
