An Ideal Husband
Oscar Wilde’s enduring comedy on how to forgive the people we love
Starting Thursday 7 May 2026
‘I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics.’
Sir Robert Chiltern is riding high on all the very best that modern life has to offer a man of his impeccable taste and immaculate reputation. The house, the clothes, the wife.
All seems well until the arrival of the devious Mrs Cheveley, who has a taste for drama and secrets to spill. Her revelations threaten scandal, betrayal, public disgrace: so how far will this perfect gentleman go to protect his good name?
This bold new production of Oscar Wilde’s enduring comedy is directed by the Lyric’s Associate Director Nicholai La Barrie.
