Ncuti Gatwa’s ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ at the National Theatre Unveils Trailer Ahead of Cinema Release


The National Theatre's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest," starring Ncuti Gatwa, has unveiled a trailer ahead of its cinema release.

The trailer begins with Gatwa, dressed to the nines in a pink gown and matching gloves, playing a piano riff before leaning back to give viewers a sassy wink. The “Doctor Who” and “Sex Education” star plays Algernon Moncrief, a witty yet idle bachelor, alongside Hugh Skinner’s Jack Worthing in the production reimagined by Max Webster (Donmar Warehouse’s “Macbeth,” “Life of Pi”). Alongside Gatwa and Skinner, the production stars Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ (“Blues for an Alabama Sky”), Julian Bleach (“Doctor Who”), Shereener Browne (“The Effect”), Richard Cant (“Stan & Ollie”), Sharon D Clarke (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Jasmine Kerr (“Follies”), Amanda Lawrence (“Star Wars: Episode – IX The Rise of Skywalker”), Gillian McCafferty (“The Rise & Fall of Little Voice”), Elliot Pritchard (“Museum of Austerity”), Eliza Scanlen (“Little Women”) and John Vernon (“Coriolanus”).
