  1. I watched the UK National Theatre’s production of “The Importance of Being Earnest” starring Ncuti Gatwa as Algernon yesterday, after they made it freely available on YouTube. It was so much fun! I love that a comedy written ~130 years ago can still be so funny and on-point.

    There is some covertly queer content in the play that is played overtly in this production — even over-the-top sometimes. My favourite performance was Sharon D Clarke as Lady Bracknell, played as a formidable Carribean Auntie.

  2. Went to see The Importance of Being Earnest in London yesterday: starring Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell, and Olly Alexander.

    I'd never read it before so I didn't know what to expect. I enjoyed it very much in the moment, but don't know how I feel now that a day has passed. The actors were all great and very funny, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of Oscar Wilde's absurdist humour.

  4. "Just finished watching some classics with Colin Firth! 🎬 His performance in 'The Importance of Being Earnest' is simply delightful, and 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' is a visual masterpiece. Highly recommend both! #ColinFirth #TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest #GirlWithAPearlEarring"
