While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate. Three-time Olivier Award-winner **Sharon D Clarke** is joined by **Ncuti Gatwa** (_Doctor Who; Sex Education_) in this joyful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy. * * * The Wallis is pleased to thank GRoW @ Annenberg Foundation for its support of NT Live at The Wallis.
