Information for The Importance of Being Oscar at Jermyn Street Theatre, Inner London (Play). The Importance of Being Oscar is Micheal MacLiammoir's magnificent tribute to the genius of Oscar Wilde. Material ranges from Dorian Gray to De Profundis, from The Importance of Being Earnest to Reading Gaol. But it is by the addition of a commentary - cunningly disguised as comedy - that Oscar weaves a tapestry, which, as it unfolds upon the stage, reaffirms Wilde as a master of English letters and the greatest wit of his generation.
