Ncuti Gatwa is "gorgeousness personified", praises Importance of Being Earnest co-star Sharon D Clarke
"He's beautiful inside, he's beautiful outside."
Ncuti Gatwa is set to appear in the National Theatre's upcoming production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.
He is joined by a stellar cast that includes fellow Doctor Who star and West End icon Sharon D Clarke, who had nothing but praise for the Fifteenth Doctor actor during a recent appearance on The One Show.
"He is gorgeousness personified," Clarke said when asked by host Alex Jones what it was like to work with Gatwa.
"He's just a beautiful man, he's very generous, he's very funny, he's beautiful inside, he's beautiful outside," she added, much to fellow guest Miranda Hart's amusement.
Gatwa will play Algy, while Clarke plays Lady Bracknell. They are joined by the likes of Fleabag star Hugh Skinner as Jack, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ (Rain Dogs) as Gwendolen Fairfax, and Eliza Scanlen (Little Women) as Cecily Cardew.
The Importance of Being Earnest will open at the National Theatre’s Lyttelton stage in London on 20th November 2024, and will run until 25th January 2025. There are still some tickets left.
