Description

With a heavy dose of ‘90s nostalgia, mirroring romcoms of the era such as My Best Friend’s Wedding and Never Been Kissed, An Ideal Husband by Lewis Treston is a hilarious makeover that asks why Australian politics constantly fails the people.

SYNOPSIS

Set in 1996, Canberra—the cold-blooded political heartland of Australia—Lewis Treston’s adaptation of An Ideal Husband offers poignant insight into human frailty within the melodrama and farce of Oscar Wilde’s effervescent social satire.

PRODUCTION HISTORY

An Ideal Husband was first produced by La Boite Theatre at the Roundhouse Theatre from July 18th – August 6th, 2022.
