Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Starring Olly Alexander & Stephen Fry Photo
Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Starring Olly Alexander & Stephen Fry
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 1, 2025

No one could accuse Max Webster's flamboyant production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest of being subtle. A new cast takes the reins from the National Theatre's hugely successful production last year and moves onto the intimate Noël Coward stage, bringing with them the biting wit, vibrant costumes and sexual fluidity that made this show such a hit.

Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, National Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 29, 2024

This is an Earnest for a new generation, Bridgertonian in its approach and just brat enough. Everybody is a little gay. Everybody is incredibly horny. Everybody has the smoothest comeback. Webster forgoes any sanctimony with sacrilegious extravagance. Gorgeously anachronistic costumes by Rae Smith splash on Smith’s own set design, shaking up the comedy of manners conventions in favour of a more original take.
