About this event
Experience the best of British theatre on our film screen! Each screening is a filmed live production with some of the best actors of today. These productions let you get closer, delve deeper and take in the spectacle in a way you’ve never experience before. On Thursday, February 11 at 7:00 pm is a screening of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, directed by Max Webster. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students. Friends of the MPOH can purchase tickets on July 1 at 8:00 am; the general public can purchase tickets on July 15 at 8:00 am. 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. 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. Max Webster (Life of Pi) directs this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance, filmed live from the National Theatre in London. Join us for more National Theatre Screenings on Thursday, October 15, 2026 for Frankenstein, and Thursday, May 6, 2027 for Fleabag.
