Some things are universal throughout time, like political aspirations and those who prey on them.
For the last play of the season, Theatre UNB is staging a production of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. Joining me is John Ball (director; professor & acting Chair of the Department of English at UNB), Shannon Munn (actor: “Mrs. Cheveley”) and James Gwathmey (actor: “Sir Robert Chiltern”). We talk about this lesser-known political dramedy of Oscar Wilde’s body of work, the delights and challenges in playing political characters, and the relevancy of a play published over a century ago.
Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband will be staged from April 3 through the 6th at 7:30pm nightly at Memorial Hall on campus.
