and their power to reveal the present.
An ambitious government minister, Sir Robert Chiltern’s smooth ascent to the top seems assured. Until Mrs Cheveley appears in London with damning proof of his previous financial chicanery.
The Rolls-Royce of English comedies, this “incredibly funny” (Telegraph) and “stylish revival” (Guardian) of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband saw a “delicious double act” (Independent) from real-life father and son Edward and Freddie Fox.
Joined on stage by the “marvellous” Nathaniel Parker (Times), “brilliant” Susan Hampshire (Guardian), “superb” Sally Bretton, and “thrilling” Frances Barber (WhatsOnStage) alongside a “delightful” West-End debut from Faith Omole (Evening Standard).
Dynamically re-minting a classic text, director Jonathan Church’s celebrated production explored political corruption and morality; the third showing in Classic Spring’s critically-renowned Oscar Wilde season.
