- This glittering comedy lands at Noël Coward Theatre after a sold-out run at the National Theatre, a must-see satire critics are calling “joyful” and “deliciously sharp.”

The story
Jack leads a proper life in the country, but in London, he’s someone else entirely. His friend Algy does the same, and soon, they’re both tangled in a web of lies, aliases, and unexpected romance. As two young women fall for the charm of men named “Ernest,” the question looms: how long can a double life last before it all unravels?

Couple예약 확인2026년 1월5/5Went to a perfromance on the 30th December. Theatre was packed out. All the cast were excellent and my wife really enjoyed her first live experience of Oscar Wilde.TTetiana V
Solo예약 확인2025년 12월5/5Not quite sure about the beginning and the closure of the play, but the middle was based on the Oscar Wilde work 😁 Some actors - to my view - crossed some vulgar lines, this was not necessary.SSimon B
Couple예약 확인2025년 10월5/5I'm a great fan of Stephen Fry which is what prompted me to see the play which I am very familiar with. Seeing him as Lady Bracknell was simply wonderful. His presence was dramatic and his presentation was brilliant. The famous "a handbag" as iterated by Dame Edith years ago was beautifully varied, but just as effective. While I know political righteousness has to be observed, I still believe there are situations where it really shouldn't be applied. This play is clearly such an example. There are thousands of plays where using coloured actors would be perfectly acceptable, but this is not one of them. The actors playing mother and son were fine actors, but just miscast. Luckily the play is so good it didn't ruin it. The scene changes were remarkable and the odd characters highly amusing. If I lived in London, I would go to see it again just for Stephen Fry. You suggest showing favourite photo moments, having requested beforehand that all phones etc be turned off!!MMarion M
