'“Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike.”

'Corruption, hypocrisy, blackmail. Just another day in Canberra, the cold-blooded political heartland of Australia.

'An Ideal Husband is award-winning playwright Lewis Treston’s hilarious makeover of Oscar Wilde’s effervescent social satire that for all its melodrama and farce, offers poignant insight into human frailty. 

'Set in 1996, this adaptation asks why Australian politics constantly fails to keep up with the people it is supposed to represent. 

'Treston combines Wilde’s unmistakable style with a heavy dose of ‘90s nostalgia, mirroring romcoms of the era such as My Best Friend’s Wedding and Never Been Kissed. 

'This wild reworking of Wilde’s An Ideal Husband will not only appeal to political diehards and ‘90s tragics, but to anyone curious about how change occurs.'
