An ideal husband

by Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900

"An Ideal Husband" by Oscar Wilde is a four-act play first produced in 1895. When a respected politician faces blackmail over a youthful indiscretion, his carefully constructed life threatens to collapse. His wife demands unwavering moral perfection, unaware of the secret that built their fortune. As political corruption and personal honor collide, a charming bachelor friend attempts to navigate the crisis. This comedy of manners explores the gap between public reputation and private truth, questioning whether anyone can truly be ideal. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
