NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
directed by Max Webster

$20 ($18 for Members)

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.

Concessions, including wine, beer, and cocktails, will be available for purchase before and during all National Theatre Live programs at Louise & Howie’s Coffee Bar in the lobby. Refreshments are permitted in the theater.
