The Importance of Being Oscar

We present Micheál Mac Liammóir’s entertaining tribute to the theatrical luminary and flamboyant socialite, Mr. Oscar Wilde. Join us for a whistle-stop journey through the great man’s life: his work, pleasures, triumphs and troubles.

The one-man play toured the world in the sixties to critical exultation and popular adulation. Our revival is no less grand! Simply relax and enjoy excerpts from An Ideal Husband, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as Oscar’s delightful poetry and selections from his personal letters and diaries. It will be a magical evening and we eagerly anticipate the pleasure of your company.

‘An explosion of incomparable richness, boldness, passion and beauty’ DAILY EXPRESS ‘Understanding, critical insight and remarkably moving dramatic forcefulness’ -New York Post
