Three-time Olivier Award winner Sharon D Clarke (Ellis) is accompanied by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) and Hugh Skinner (Fleabag) in this delightful reinterpretation of Oscar Wilde’s best-known comedy.

As Jack takes on the role of a responsible guardian in the countryside, he revels in the city using a fictitious persona. At the same time, his companion Algy adopts a comparable disguise. Aiming to win over two attractive young women, the men find themselves ensnared in a tangled web of deceit that they must skillfully manage.
