ABOUT THE PLAY - An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde
Set in London, in 1895, the play opens during a dinner party at the home of Sir Robert Chiltern in London's fashionable Grosvenor Square. Sir Robert, a prestigious member of the House of Commons, and his wife, Lady Chiltern, are hosting a gathering that includes his sister Mabel Chiltern, his friend Lord Goring - a dandified bachelor and close friend to the Chilterns - and other genteel guests.
The story revolves around blackmail and political corruption at the end of the 20th Century but its themes are relevant today.
If you enjoyed Oscar Wilde’s "The Importance of Being Earnest”, you will like this as well. The dialogue is fast and witty.
Oscar Wilde’s own comment on this play was - that sooner or later, we shall have to pay for what we do, but no one should be entirely judged by their past.
The costumes, the lighting and very modern set design will add to your enjoyment. Any group over 20 will receive a discount. See FUNDRAISING or BOOKINGS on the website. Phone Richard on 445.9900.
