A Man of No Importance tells the story of Alfie Byrne, a bus driver in 1964 Dublin. Alfie holds secrets that he can’t share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde. When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde’s Salome in the local church hall, he confronts bigotry from church officials, and violence and exposure at the hands of thugs. 2003 GLAAD Media Award winner A Man of No Importance celebrates the obstacles along the road to self-discovery, how the redemptive power of theatre changes his life, what makes us human, what brings us together in community, and what makes us forgive.
