An Ideal Husband "Sooner or later, we shall all have to pay for what we do...No one should be
entirely judged by their past." Oscar Wilde's magnificent An Ideal Husband
is a tale of morality, blackmail and political corruption. Characterized by
Wilde's barbed wit and effervescent sense of humour, the play is also a
compassionate portraiture of a marriage. Sir Robert Chiltern (Alexander
Hanson), a highly successful government minister, finds his reputation,
career and marriage to the loving but idealistic Lady Chiltern (Rachael
Stirling) threatened by the arrival of the mysterious Mrs Cheveley (Samantha
Bond). Confronted with a damning secret from his past, Sir Robert turns for
help to his friend, Lord Goring (Elliot Cowan) an apparently idle
philanderer, who himself has a history with Mrs Cheveley. Can this dandified
philosopher save his friend from ruin? And will Lady Chiltern be able to
reconcile the man she loves with her expectations of An Ideal Husband?
