Synopsis
National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest
Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade. Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
Rosie!
An eccentric Los Angeles dowager decides to fight back when her two greedy daughters attempt to have her declared legally insane.
