The Importance of Being Oscar

Original Theatre presents

The Importance of Being Oscar

By Micheál Mac Liammóir

-

'Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.'

Micheál Mac Liammóir’s renowned play returns to the stage following huge critical acclaim and a hit London run. 

Step beyond the footlights into the private world of Oscar Wilde. Told in the shadows of Reading Gaol, where Wilde was imprisoned, this strictly limited run will immerse audiences in a compelling journey through the loves and losses, successes and struggles of the iconic man - from the eccentric socialite to the imprisoned outcast.  

Captivating… A mesmerising one-man journey through Oscar Wilde’s brilliant life and works

Broadway World

A beautiful tribute to an icon of the world of theatre, liberally laced with Wilde's signature wit and wisdom and featuring excerpts of many of his best-loved works including An Ideal Husband, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest and The Ballad of Reading Gaol. This one man show promises to be a Wilde-ly entertaining night.  

Directed by Michael Fentiman (Amelie, Jekyll & Hyde, Lion Witch & Wardrobe) and produced by the Olivier nominated Original Theatre (Being Mr Wickham, The Interview, Birdsong).

An elegant and electrifying revival
