ABOUT THE SHOW
“Quiet, delicate, and lovely…first-rate musical storytelling!” - The New York Times
1960s Dublin is the setting for this charming musical about the redemptive power of theatre, love, and friendship.
Bus conductor Alfie Byrne has two joys in life: the poetry of Oscar Wilde and staging amateur productions with his local theatre troupe, the St. Imelda Players.
But when church officials try to shut down his plans for a production of Wilde’s Salome, Alfie must confront the forces of bigotry – and his own shame -- over “the love that dare not speak its name.”
This production will mark the New England Premiere of the recently reimagined version of this beloved classic, which includes the use of on-stage musicians.
Paul Daigneault’s Final Production as SpeakEasy’s Artistic Director
