Un Mari Idéal

Presented by La Compagnie de L'Elan. “The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple,” Oscar Wilde. Sir Robert Chiltern is a Secretary of State renowned for his respectability and integrity.

Destined for a brilliant future, his wife Lady Chiltern and his best friend Lord Goring see him as an ideal husband and a sincere friend.

The arrival of the manipulative Mrs Cheveley in his life will turn everything upside down and make him endure his worst hours when he realises she shares his best-kept secret.

His young friend, Arthur Goring, a dandy who only thinks of having fun, is pressured by his father, Lord Caversham, to settle down. Will he agree to become a good husband to the pretty Mabel Chiltern, niece of the aforementioned couple?

Oscar Wilde likes to show that appearances are deceptive and that social order is based only on individual and collective lies. The staging highlights the funny, dramatic, or endearing characters. Directed by: Daniel Annotiau.
