A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE

Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater
Lincoln Center
150 West 65th Street
Between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues.

A middle-aged bachelor living a quiet life with his spinster sister, spends his days as a bus conductor and his nights as a community theater impressario dedicated to the plays of his hero, Oscar Wilde. A modest man, a quiet man, Alfie has always found his greatest satisfaction as the artistic director of the St. Imelda's Players, an amateur theatrical group housed in the local church. When Alfie declares that, instead of their usual production of The Importance of Being Earnest, the troupe will next present Wilde's provocative Salome, the church authorities balk at the play's "immodest dancing" and his safe little world begins to crumble. After years of sublimation, Alfie finally wakes up to his sexuality and realizes he must take his place in the world. As Wilde declared, "The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it." Still a modest man, Alfie Byrne is no longer a quiet man. Some would even say he has become a man of great importance! Roger Rees and Faith Prince star.
