An Ideal Husband

July 30-August 10
Comedy by Oscar Wilde Featuring Karron Graves (Fallen Angels, Turn of the Screw), Dale Hodges, Jack Koenig, Sevanne Martin, Dee Nelson, Michael Page, and Kraig Swartz

Beneath the sparkle of Edwardian London Society lies an undercurrent of deception, instigated by Mrs Cheveley, the infamous scarlet woman. Living in this world is the pure-hearted Lady Chiltern and her ideal husband, a politician beyond reproach … if there is such a being. “Nowadays, with our modern mania for morality, everyone has to pose as a paragon of purity, incorruptibility, and all the other seven deadly virtues.” This show is a dazzling blend of comedy and morality, sex and politics, exploring human frailty and social hypocrisy. Using Oscar Wilde’s signature wit and style, An Ideal Husband has all the sumptuous elegance you expect.
