Description
Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband is a play that has sparked intense debate and discussion among critics and audiences alike. First performed in the late 19th century, it remains a powerful exploration of the complex issues that defined the Victorian era, including the role of women in public life and the consequences of political intrigue and financial deception. This revised edition of the play provides a new perspective on its enduring relevance, thanks to a stimulating introduction that examines its relationship with contemporary social purity campaigns and women's rights. The introduction also delves into the play's rich performance history, including its film adaptations and the influential Peter Hall theatre production. With its thought-provoking themes and complex characters, An Ideal Husband is a play that continues to resonate with audiences today.
