National Theatre
The National Theatre’s latest production of The Importance of Being Earnest is a vibrant and joyous revival directed by Max Webster. This classic Oscar Wilde comedy, known for its witty dialogue and satirical take on Victorian norms, has been given a fresh and flamboyant twist.

The play stars Ncuti Gatwa as Algernon Moncrieff and Hugh Skinner as Jack Worthing. Gatwa, widely recognized for his role in “Doctor Who,” brings a charismatic and playful energy to the role of Algernon, while Skinner’s portrayal of Jack is both humorous and endearing.

Webster’s direction emphasizes the play’s subversive and queer undertones, making it a delightfully modern take on Wilde’s work. The production features lavish set designs by Rae Smith and costumes that blend traditional Victorian styles with contemporary flair. The result is a visually stunning and thoroughly entertaining experience that honours Wilde’s original wit while adding a fresh perspective.

Overall, this production of “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a must-see for both fans of classic theatre and those looking for a lively, thought-provoking evening out.
