He shows us his continuing fascination with Oscar Wilde, growing into a sort of “admiring affinity” and a kind of “uncanny affection”. And he shows us how this led, years later, to the idea of the One-Man show, “The Importance of Being Oscar”, which took the Dublin and London theatre by storm and then went on to travel all over the world. Hilton Edwards directed the author in “Oscar” and Michael Redgrave brought the show to London. A delightful book. Collector’s Item
