The Importance of Being Ernest — Live in HD
Date/Time
Location
Mahaiwe (14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230, Great Barrington MA)
Max Webster (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) directs a joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy at the London National Theatre (shown at the Mahaiwe on screen in HD). Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Doctor Who) is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) and Hugh Skinner (W1A; Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) in this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People … Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade.
Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
The Mahaiwe accepts ConnectorCare/WIC/EBT cards. Four free tickets to movies or HD broadcasts per person.
