A Man of No Importance

Runs through March 22.

Based in Dublin in the 1960s, A Man of No Importance is a charming musical about the redemptive power of theatre, love, and friendship. In this New England Premiere of the recently reimagined version of this beloved classic, A Man of No Importance revolves around bus conductor Alfie Byrne and his two joys in life: the poetry of Oscar Wilde and staging amateur productions with his local theatre troupe, the St. Imelda Players. Church officials try to shut down his plans for a production of Wilde’s Salome and Alfie must confront the forces of bigotry – and his own shame — over “the love that dare not speak its name.” This new production includes the use of on-stage musicians, and features an all-star cast that includes SpeakEasy veterans Eddie Shields, Aimee Doherty, Kerry Dowling and actor Billy Meleady from Dublin.
