‘An Ideal Husband’ is a comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895. Set in the high society of Victorian London, this satirical work is a witty exploration of social hypocrisy, political intrigue, and personal morality.
The play revolves around Sir Robert Chiltern, a respected government official with a seemingly flawless reputation, and his wife, Lady Chiltern. However, when an old acquaintance, Mrs. Cheveley, threatens to expose a past misdeed that could ruin Sir Robert’s career, the Chilterns’ marriage and reputations hang in the balance.
Oscar Wilde employs his trademark sparkling dialogue and sharp wit to craft a story filled with humorous misunderstandings, clever wordplay, and biting social commentary. The characters grapple with themes of honor, integrity, and the compromises people make in the pursuit of power and success.
‘An Ideal Husband’ remains a timeless comedy of manners, celebrated for its insight into the moral complexities of human behavior and its enduring relevance in exploring the intersection of public and private life.
