An Ideal Husband

Tomorrow Lyric Hammersmith

'I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics.'

Present day. London. Sir Robert Chiltern is riding high on all the very best that modern life has to offer a man of his impeccable taste and pristine reputation. He's got it all: the house, the wife, the style. All seems well until the arrival of the crafty Mrs Cheveley, who has a taste for drama and secrets to spill. Her revelations threaten disgrace, betrayal and public embarrassment: so how far will this perfect gentleman go to prevent his downfall?

Scandal is trending. Forgiveness is optional. And perfection comes at a price.

This season, Oscar Wilde's classic gets a bold new twist, directed by the Lyric Hammersmith's Associate Director Nicholai La Barrie.
