National Theatre - Live The Importance of being Earnest

For the very first time the MMI in St Agnes is delighted to bring you a National Theatre Production!

Come and be a part of this UK nationwide premiere in cinemas - on Thursday 20th February:

The Importance of being Earnest

by Oscar Wilde directed by Max Webster

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!

Being sensible can be excessively boring...  At least Jack thinks so.  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.
