The Importance of Being Earnest (Noel Coward Theatre, London)Rating:Was ever an actor more obviously born to play a role? It’s a joyfully exuberant production, now recast and transferred from the National Theatre to the West End. The 68-year-old actor, writer and TV presenter, becomes a 6ft 5in taffeta tank as Wilde’s memorably scathing widow. Fry replaces Sharon D Clarke, who made a formidable and vividly-costumed Jamaican matriarch in the National’s original production. Max Webster’s joyous production remains book-ended with an LGBTQ+ pageant which adds needless flummery to an immaculately constructed plot.
