A Man of No Importance

Alfie Byrne is a bus driver in 1964 Dublin, whose heart holds secrets he can’t share with anyone. 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 of a ‘forbidden’ love. In this moving play within a play, Alfie and his acting troupe discover that the power of theatre will change their lives.

A Man of No Importance is a rare gem of a musical, combining the depth and drama of a play with the lyricism and comedy of a musical. A tender and beautifully woven tale of love, friendship and coming to terms with who we are that inspires.
