The Importance of Being Oscar

Oscar Wilde was a dandy of speech, a dandy of manner, a dandy of dress, and a dandy, even, of ideas and intellect. He fell in love with eccentric socialites, travelled to America with nothing to declare except his genius, and found worldwide success as a playwright. This is the story of how his life of fame, glamour, and romance led him to become an imprisoned outcast.

Following Being Mr Wickham, Original Theatre return to Jermyn Street Theatre, joined by co-producers Reading Rep Theatre, for the first London revival in over 25 years of Micheál MacLiammóir‘s legendary play.

Art Forms: English Literature, History, Theatre.

Cost: Tickets £22 with the teacher going free.

Dates and times: 28 March - 19 April 2025 Monday to Saturday 7.30pm Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 3.00pm
