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. A trivial comedy for serious people-filmed live from the National Theatre in London.
