Ncuti Gatwa and Sharon D Clarke shine in ridiculous revival of The Importance of Being Earnest – review
Reading now: 869
A little context: The Importance of Being Earnest premiered in 1895, shortly before its author, Oscar Wilde, was imprisoned for homosexuality.
While Victorian society was, of course, extremely repressed, meaning queer love interests could never be explicitly depicted on the stage, Wilde’s play is dripping in homoerotic subtext and Max Webster’s new production absolutely dials that subtext right up.
The opening scene features current Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa, resplendent in a pink ball gown, miming playing a grand piano – which pretty much sets the tone for how this is going to unfold.
If you’re not familiar with The Importance of Being Earnest – where have you been? This is queer canon! – it’s not the most challenging of plays to follow.
