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'!

Wonderfully sad and ultimately uplifting tale of unconventional love repressed.
Only Finey could do it!
Only Wilde could inspire it!
