| A Man Of No Importance -
1994 Dublin, the early 1960's: passengers
on Bus Conductor Alfie Byrne's route are
entertained by a daily diet of poetry, pose and
excerpts from Oscar Wilde. Alfie delights his
'brethren' and attempts each year to put on a
play in the church community hall. This year he
wants to stage 'Salome'. When he finds his 'star'
in the unsuspecting form of the delightful Adele
he tries to convince his driver, who has
affectionately nicknamed 'Bosie', to tread the
boards for the first time, to no avail. Alfie
soon discovers that Dublin can turn quickly into
'Peyton Place' when local butcher Carney the
usurped former leading man recruits Alfie's
sister and the elders from the church to condemn
'Salome' as 'the work of the devil'!
