By OSCAR WILDE
Directed by MARTI MARADEN
Starring CHRISTOPHER HUNT
Everything seems perfect about Sir Robert Chiltern — respected politician, adored husband and paragon of virtue. That is until a scheming woman with the key to his shady past threatens to reveal a scandal that could destroy his reputation and his marriage. This lively social-satire sparkles with witty repartée and quotable one-liners. As Mr. Wilde writes: “In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”
Hilarious, intriguing and relevant. One of the great plays – staged with elegant style. It’s deliciously clever. – Dennis
