Ncuti Gatwa as Algernon Moncrieff in "The Importance of Being Earnest"
went to a screening of this last night & it was absolutely gorgeous and hilarious and joyful and SO SO JOYOUSLY QUEER & all I could think at the end was YES, this is Oscar Wilde on stage, not even as he meant but maybe - hopefully - as he could have dreamed of.
Or, to quote one of the actors, Sharon Clarke: “I think Oscar [Wilde] would look at this and go, ‘That’s what I wanted to be able to do, but I wasn’t able to do it at that time because of where we were.’”
