The Importance of Being Earnest (Encore Screening) - Ely Cinema
Oscar Wilde’s much-loved classic play. The Importance Of Being Earnest will be broadcast LIVE to Ely Cinema from London’s Vaudeville Theaton Thursday 8 October 2015. Running time 165 mins.
Poirot star David Suchet stars as the formidable Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's much loved masterpiece 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.
Directed by Adrian Noble (Amadeus, The King's Speech), Wilde's superb satire on Victorian manners is one of the funniest plays in the English language.
'The Importance of Being Earnest' sees two bachelor friends, the adorable dandy Algernon Moncrieff (Philip Cumbus - regular player at Shakespeare's Globe) and the utterly reliable John Worthing J.P., (Downton Abbey's Michael Benz) lead double lives to court the attentions of the desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax (Emily Barber) and Cecily Cardew (Imogen Doel). The gallants must then grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions - and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.
