The Importance of Being Earnest review
Three scene-stealers make this a comedy cracker Max Webster’s production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest felt like a sugary overload of a festive banquet when it ran for a sell-out season at the National Theatre last year – jubilant and cackle-worthy but sprawling in places. Now blithely skipping across the Thames to the Noël Coward Theatre, the take on Wilde’s play about confused identities, deceptions, romances and, of course, handbags, feels tighter, slick

A grown-up fairytale that grabs you - Hook, line, and sinker First staged by the RSC in 2013 and now flying high at the Barbican, Wendy and Peter Pan by Ella Hickson reclaims one of the most beloved children’s stories of all time - giving the (traditionally billed) second star to the right, Wendy, centre stage.
