The Importance of Being Earnest
Written by: Oscar Wilde
Directed by and Starring: Brian Bedford
“The great actor Brian Bedford is brilliant in this funny and effervescent production. It’s one of the great performances of the season; to miss it would most definitely look like carelessness.” - The New York Times
Oscar Wilde's uproarious comedy of manners comes to the big screen in LATW's filmed version of the Roundabout Theatre's Broadway production starring Brian Bedford. This stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners is complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Ernest, that name which inspires absolute confidence. Wilde's effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language.

‘Joseph Fiennes mesmerises as Gareth Southgate’ —Telegraph
Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham’s (Sherwood) gripping examination of nation and game. The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game? With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take team and country back to the promised land. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Rupert Goold (Judy) directs this spectacular new play.
