Book by Terrence McNally, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens | Directed by Ro Gavin | Music Directed by Breanne Aria Battey | In collaboration with RGC Theatre
This tender story of family, friendship and acceptance teaches us that it really is a wonderful thing to “love who you love.”
Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, A Man of No Importance is the story of Alfie Byrne, a bus conductor in 1964 Dublin whose heart 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 the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.” But the redemptive power of theatre changes his life and brings his friends back to his side.
