The Art of “Bunburying” In this 2025 National Theatre Live production of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy, Jack Worthing finds the life of a sensible country guardian “excessively boring.” To escape his responsibilities, he creates a reckless younger brother named “Ernest” as an excuse to frequent London. However, his sophisticated friend Algernon (Algy) discovers the ruse and decides to adopt the same “Ernest” persona to woo Jack’s ward in the country.

I loved this production of The Importance of Being Earnest! Oscar Wilde’s witty dialogue and clever plot kept me on the edge of my seat
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the ending… anyone have a clear explanation?
Has anyone noticed any cultural appropriation in the production?
I loved the costume design and set, but the acting felt a bit off to me
I agree with Sophie. The pacing was a bit slow for me
I’m not sure I agree. I felt like they took some liberties with the characters
@Ana, good question. I think they did a decent job of staying true to the original
@Dimitris, you’re a total fanboy lol
I have to say, I’m a bit disappointed in the quality of the production… maybe it’s just me?
I’m confused. Is the ending supposed to be a twist or just a lazy cop-out?
Fire movie! 🔥, one of the funniest I’ve seen in a while
Reza, you’re missing the point. It’s not just a comedy 😊
I’ve seen this production twice and I still can’t get over how witty Wilde is
I’m surprised to hear that, Marcin. I thought it was a solid production
@Maricin, don’t be too hard on yourself. We all have different tastes
What’s with all the enthusiasm? I thought it was just okay…
TBH, I thought the ending was clever. It added a layer of complexity to the story
Lol @ Jack’s wild lies 😂
Yaaassssssss, finally, a true adaptation of Wilde’s masterpiece! 👏
