About the performer page: The Importance Of Being Oscar centers around the life and works of Oscar Wilde, presented through the lens of Micheál Mac Liammóir’s original concept, later reimagined for contemporary audiences. In 2025, Alastair Whatley headlines a revival directed by Michael Fentiman, produced by Original Theatre and Reading Rep, bringing Wilde’s wit and intellect back to the stage at Jermyn Street Theatre in London. Expect a thoughtful fusion of biographical narration and beloved Wildean excerpts, including The Ballad of Reading Gaol, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and The Importance of Being Earnest.
