Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband

I just received a mailer today announcing that the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's next production will be Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. Though not American literature, I know many of you enjoyed reading and performing Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest last year. An Ideal Husband is slightly similar.

Here is the brief synopsis provided on their website:
To aristocrat Sir Robert Chiltern, the past is better kept in the past. But when an old acquaintance threatens to reveal the nefarious nature of his rise to wealth, Sir Robert’s well-kept life is at risk. Will he do whatever it takes to remain the “ideal husband” in the eyes of his adoring wife and fawning friends, or will he accept the truth and confront his undoing? With a lively cast of supporting characters, Oscar Wilde’s popular play An Ideal Husband takes the stage for a truly theatrical experience that’s not to be missed.
If there's enough interest, I'll certainly consider another high school night out. So, if you are interested in attending a performance I can arrange for student tickets at a group rate. Do let me know. The play runs from April 16 to May 16.

  1. We recieved that at our house as well. I looked it over and I would be interested in attending a performance. (if it weighs at all on the plan, Saturday nights are best for me)
