NT Live: The Importance of Being Ernest

Paul Greengrass Cinema, The Woodville, Woodville Place, Gravesend, DA12 1DD

A trivial comedy for serious people, Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated work is coming to The Woodville, filmed live at the National Theatre with @NTLive.

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 (Life of Pi) directs this hilarious story of identity, impersonation, and romance, filmed live from the National Theatre in London.

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.
