National Theatre London: The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
directed by Max Webster
A trivial comedy for serious people, filmed live from the National Theatre.
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.
