Event description

Film screening of Oscar Wilde's most celebrated comedy, directed by Max Webster (Life of Pi) with three-time Olivier Award-winner Sharon D. Clarke.

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.

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.

Cast: Eliza Scanlen, Amanda Lawrence, Hugh Skinner, Ncuti Gatwa, Sharon D. Clarke
