Sir Peter Hall’s highly acclaimed West End and Broadway production of Oscar Wild’s AN IDEAL HUSBAND returns to the stage.

 

Into the fashionable world of London parties, politics and diplomacy comes the worldly and devious Mrs Cheveley. She attempts to blackmail the British Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Sir Robert Chiltern, who she accuses of building a career on dishonour by selling a cabinet secret.

 

The glamorous Kate O’Mara, star of such TV hits as Dynasty and Bad Girls returns to the role of Mrs Cheveley, a part she originally played in the West End. Kate is joined by Dynasty co-star and veteran of the television classic Robin of Sherwood, Michael Praed. Carol Royle has starred in numerous popular TV series including, Heartbeat, Crossroads and most recently Doctors. Her various stage roles have included leads in Royal Shakespeare Company productions of A Woman of No Importance and Hamlet. Alongside them are Robert Duncan, best known as Gus from the Channel Four cult comedy hit Drop the Dead Donkey, Fenella Fielding perhaps best known for her roles in the ‘Carry On’ and ‘Doctor’ films, as well as distinguished theatre credits including Lady Fidget in ‘The Country Wife’ and the title role in ‘Hedda Gabler’ and finally renowned actor of stage and screen Tony Britton whose TV hits include Don’t Wait Up and Robin’s Nest.

 

Written with the wit and style expected of Wilde, the political intrigue amongst society’s highest ranking figures gives us one of the most entertaining plays in the English language.
