NTLive's 'The Importance Of Being Earnest' Now Screening in Japan



The much-anticipated NTLive production, 'The Importance Of Being Earnest,' has finally received an official release in Sapporo and Nagoya, following a wave of requests from eager fans. This delightful comedy, created by the legendary Oscar Wilde, stars the talented Chutie Gatwa, known for his role in 'Doctor Who,' and Sharon D. Clarke, a three-time Laurence Olivier Award winner, who has been nominated again this year.

From May 30th to June 1st, audiences will be treated to performances at Sapporo Cinema Frontier and Midland Square Cinema in Nagoya, both of which will screen the play on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only. With the popularity of this production, the Cine Libre Ikebukuro in Tokyo has also extended its screenings, allowing more viewers to enjoy this remarkable theatrical experience from the UK.

About the Play
'The Importance Of Being Earnest' offers a hilarious exploration of the complexities of identity and the absurdities of social conventions. Jack, leading a double life, finds himself in a tangled web of lies when he and his friend Algernon both become enamored with two charming women. Their quest to maintain their deceptions while pursuing love leads to a series of comical situations, illustrating that being conventional can often be tiresomely boring.

The production runs for 167 minutes and includes an intermission, providing a rich theatrical experience. Audiences across Japan can now witness the buzzworthy performance that has captivated UK audiences, all from the comfort of local cinemas.
