A Man of No Importance tells the story of Alfie Byrne, an Oscar Wilde-loving bus driver in 1960’s Dublin. Alfie’s passion is directing an amateur theatre troupe, the St. Imelda’s Players. The dedicated performers are determined to stage the controversial “Salome” at their local church. However, the play’s racy subject matter angers church authorities. In the process of fighting for the play, Alfie is finally forced to confront his own homosexuality and reveal his true self to those around him. A Man of No Importance is a great choice for a mostly male cast and requires all performers to use an Irish accent.
