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.

Max Webster(Donmar’sMacbeth;Life of Pi) directs a joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy. Olivier Award-winnerSharon D Clarke(Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom;Doctor Who) is joined byNcuti Gatwa(Doctor Who;Sex Education) andHugh Skinner(W1A;Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) in this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
