Is this anything

Max Webster was like what if I adapted a classic play and cast doctor who as the main character. What if.

And it had to be my two MOST favourite plays of all time!

The Importance of Being Earnest National Theatre Live, 2025 free to watch until March 18th, 2026

“Oh, that is nonsense - you are always talking nonsense.” “It’s much better to talk nonsense than to listen to it, my dear fellow.”

I feel like this is such a good quote to kind of sum up this play. It's nonsense and I have enjoyed it so much. I think all the fun little 4th wall breaks were my favorite bits. (My second favorite bit is ncuti gatwa’s sheer white dress shirt. My third favorite thing is how delightfully queer this play is. My fourth favorite thing is the costuming.)

I know today everyone is talking about Macbeth, but if you are in or around London do yourself a favour and go and see The Importance Of Being Earnest at the National Theatre. It's absolutely, gloriously, unashamedly phenomenal.
