Video review: The Importance of Being Earnest, National Theatre

Video transcript:

I'm going to come right out and say it: I love this production of the National Theatre's Importance of Being Earnest.

It's a perfect blend of staying faithful to the original, elevating those elements of the original, the wit of Oscar Wilde's script, while adding contemporary embellishments that just lift it.

This is a production that is vibrant. It's colourful, and the costumes are amazing.

It just jumps off the stage. The cast is all-around superb, and their comic timing is fantastic, not only with the script but also with the physical humour that they inject into it.

I particularly loved Sharon D Clarke; I wanted to see more of her. I thought she was absolutely fantastic.

This is such a fun, frolicking, festive production. I thought it was superb, and I can highly recommend it.
