Original Theatre and Reading Rep Theatre’s acclaimed production of Micheál Mac Liammóir’s The Importance of Being Oscar directed by Michael Fentiman and starring Alastair Whatley
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.
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.
