Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband

12 July 2012

Blackmail, political corruption, intrigue, romance and razor-sharp wit all abound in equal measure making this dazzling satire by Oscar Wilde a favourite with audiences everywhere. A sparkling comedy that balances incisive wit with a tender-hearted portrait of a marriage.

Delicious food, refreshments & bar available throughout the evening as well as some interval treats; popcorn, strawberries and cream and ice cream!
Gates open at 7pm – performance 7.30pm

Tickets Adults £15, Children £7 and family £41 (2 adults & 2 children)
Exclusive: Children’s creative workshops on puppetry and gingerbread making (tickets £8 numbers are limited – 5.30pm-6.10pm)
