The Importance Of Being An Ideal Husband

Description

Boutique Theatre is proud to undergo its take on Oscar Wilde's classics: An Ideal Husband and the Importance Of Being Earnest. However, it's with a twist. An Ideal Husband will be performed by an all female cast while the Importance Of Being Earnest by an all male cast.

An Ideal Husband
Sir Robert Chiltern is a successful Government minister, well-off and with a loving wife, Gertrude. All this is threatened when Mrs Cheveley appears in London with damning evidence of a past misdeed. Sir Robert turns for help to his friend Lord Goring, an apparently idle philanderer and the despair of his father. Goring knows the lady of old, and, for him, takes the whole thing pretty seriously.

The Importance of Being Earnest
Whenever Jack Worthing slips away to London from his Hertfordshire estate, he says he is going to see his (fictitious) wayward brother Ernest. Once there he keeps his privacy by calling himself Ernest – luckily so as his beloved Gwendolen declares she could only love an Ernest. Her cousin Algy is the one person who knows Jack's secret and one day he travels down to the estate, announcing himself to Jack's attractive ward Cecily as bad brother Ernest. Cecily is much taken with him and with his name, so on Jack's return home and Gwendolen's unexpected arrival, it becomes clear there are both too many and too few Ernests earnestly courting.
