National Theatre Live:
The Importance of Being Earnest

NT Live Encore Screening at Theatre Porto – get tickets

Certificate 12A| Find Out More

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.

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

National Theatre Live – the best of British theatre. On a screen near you.

This production has been rated a 12A certificate by the BBFC
