Proscenium presents Oscar Wilde’s sharp and sparkling social comedy, An Ideal Husband. Robert Chiltern, a respected politician, is being blackmailed by the cunning Mrs Chevely for his former corruption - his career and marriage lie in the balance.
Wilde’s witty and thought-provoking play cleverly explores moral choices in both public and private life. The play’s appeal lies in its blend of humour and insight, with classic characters who range from the sanctimonious, judgemental and hypocritical to the delightfully cynical and honest Lord Goring, who might just save the day. Wilde questions rigid ideals of perfection in marriage and politics, suggesting that love and integrity are rooted in acceptance and forgiveness of flaws, and not in unattainable ideals.
