Description

The National Theatre of London continues its season with its acclaimed new production of “The Importance of Being Earnest” showing in Sedona on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 8 and 9. The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere at its Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.


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.
