The Importance of Being Earnest

The National Theatre’s sold-out production transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre this Autumn, in a co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions.

Directed by Max Webster (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) this joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s ‘glittering masterpiece’ (Telegraph), is a hilarious story of identity, impersonation, and romance.

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.
