On August 17, 2026, the Park Theatre in London will present "The Importance of Being Oscar." The performance features Michael Mac Liammoir depicting the life of Oscar Wilde through various excerpts. Tickets begin at £27.00.
Irish writer Michael Mac Liammoir conjures up the vivid and dramatic life of the great writer Oscar Wilde in this powerful one man show using excerpts from Wilde's own writing. Funny and fiercely moving, it captures Wilde's rise and fall, his glory and devastation, in a bold, unflinching portrait of the literary icon as you've never seen him before, with Alastair Whatley starring in the title role. Fans of Wilde won't want to miss this stirring, intimate tribute that's every bit as clever and witty as he was.
