Oscar Wilde

An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde "Unabridged Annotated Classic"

An Ideal Husband is peppered with the unmistakable wit and satire of famous literary figure Oscar Wilde.


An Ideal Husband revolves around a blackmail scheme that forces a married couple to reexamine their moral standards - providing, along the way, a wry commentary on the rarity of politicians who can claim to be ethically pure. A supporting cast of young lovers, society matrons, an overbearing father, and a formidable femme fatale continually exchange sparkling repartee, keeping the play moving at a lively pace.
