National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest (2025)

Directed by Max Webster

Overview

Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so.  While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade.  Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
