NT Live: The Importance of Being Earnest

United Kingdom, 2025 / TBC

Director: Max Webster

Starring: Eliza Scanlen, Amanda Lawrence, Hugh Skinner, Ncuti Gatwa, Sharon D. Clarke.

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.

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