Richmond Theatre : An Ideal Husband OLD EVENT
Sir Peter Hall's highly-acclaimed West End and Broadway production of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband returns to the stage.
Into the fashionable world of London parties, politics and diplomacy comes the worldly and devious Mrs Cheveley. She attempts to blackmail the British Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, Sir Robert Chiltern, whom she accuses of building a career on dishonour by selling a cabinet secret.
Kate O'Mara (Dynasty and Bad Girls) returns to the role of Mrs Cheveley, a part she originally played in the West End. Appearing alongside are Michael Praed (Robin of Sherwood); popular TV series actress Carol Royle, whose various stage roles include leads in RSC productions; renowned actor of stage and screen Tony Britton(Don't Wait Up and Robin's Nest); Robert Duncan,
best known as Gus from the cult comedy hit Drop the Dead Donkey and Fenella Fielding (Carry On and Doctor films) whose distinguished theatre credits include Lady Fidgetin The Country Wife and the title role in Hedda Gabler.
Wilde's characteristic wit and style make this tale of political intrigue amongst society's highest-ranking figures both entertaining and highly topical.
