Micheal MacLimmoir was a theatrical giant who dominated Irish theatre for over 50 years. Actor designer playwright and brilliant raconteur he was very much his own creation. He cut an imposing figure under the spotlight and in real life dressed flamboyantly wearing full make-up at all times and a jet black hairpiece. When he died in 1978 aged 79 The Irish Times wrote that 'Nobody can assess the contribution that Micheal MacLiammoir made to Irish theatre'. Throughout his life MacLiammoir closed guarded the fact that he was not in fact Irish at all but had been born in London. As Alfred Willmore he had been a child actor on the London stage in the company of Noel Coward. He later travelled widely throughout Europe studying arts and languages before reaching Ireland where he met his future partner the actor Hilton Edwards. In 1928 the two men started the world famous Gate Theatre in Dublin and among the early players were James Mason and Orson Welles. MacLiammoir appeared on Broadway in the 1930's and from the 1950's onwards toured the world in an accalimed one man show The Importance of Being Oscar based on the life of Oscar Wilde. He followed this in 1963 with I Must Be Talking to My Friends a show about Irish writers and lastly with Talking About Yeats his final one man entertainment. On MacLiammoir's death Sir John Gielgud commented "Designer wit linguist and boon companion as well as actor he was a uniquely talented and delightful creature."
