Photo Flash: IDEAL HUSBAND Plays the Great Lakes Theater Festival

By:

The Great Lakes Theater Festival presents Oscar Wilde's AN IDEAL HUSBAND playing thru October 30 with direction by Sari Ketter.

Romantic, clever and marvelously convoluted, this Oscar Wilde comedy of manners insightfully examines the crossroads where money, power and ethics collide. Sir Robert Chiltern, a rising political star and a pillar of virtue, is an ideal husband for the charming Lady Chiltern. But when the enchanting and conniving Mrs. Cheveley returns from abroad threatening to reveal a dark secret from Sir Chiltern's past, a brewing scandal impends to destroy both his career and marriage. Wilde's wit takes center stage, rambunctiously holding a mirror up to nature while wreaking havoc on its occupants, in a deliciously decadent comedy that disarms and delights.

Run Time: 2 hours & 38 minutes (intermission included)
