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 – The Importance of Being Earnest.

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 National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest production, a hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance, filmed live from the National Theatre in London.
