The Importance of Being Oscar

The Importance of Being Oscar by Micheál Mac Liammóir, starring Alastair Whatley, directed by Michael Fentiman

“A beautiful production - intimate and utterly compelling” Gyles Brandreth

Oscar Wilde became an icon on his death. But the life he lived was far more dramatic than anything he ever wrote.

Oscar, his rise and fall, his glory and his devastation, is conjured back to life through his own words and those of his fiercest champion, the fabled Irish writer Micheál Mac Liammóir.

We meet the man who lived and loved without compromise, whilst creating some of the most famous – and famously funny – plays still adored by millions today.

Experience Oscar as you’ve never seen him before – real, raw, defiant.

This legendary play helped redefine our attitudes and appreciation of a man whose life became his work of art and is returning for a limited UK tour ahead of a London run.

Show times: Tue 7.30pm, Wed 1.30pm and 7.30pm
