An Ideal Husband is a comedic stage play by Oscar Wilde with an intriguing storyline revolving around blackmail and political corruption.
Together with The Importance of Being Earnest, it is considered Wilde's dramatic masterpiece.
The wicked Mrs. Cheverly, blackmails Member of Parliament Lord Robert Chiltern with a secret from his youth, leading to a crisis in his life, and in his marriage to the virtuous Lady Chiltern. It is up to his friend, the delightfully foppish Lord Goring to help extricate him.
Filled with wit and humorous repartee, all is well that ends well, but not until much back-and-forth and conspiracy.
