About the play

Sir Robert Chiltern has it all: money, influence and a beautiful wife. What could possibly go wrong? Then the arrival in his London house of a woman who knows secrets from his past threatens to expose him to public shame and bring an end to both his stellar political career and his blissful marriage.

But, with colourful and intriguing characters, and with love hovering, comic possibilities abound and farce is just a closed door away. An Ideal Husband takes a delightfully satirical look at the political and social world of upper-class London in the 1890s.

Laughs aplenty in this Wilde classic.
