IRELAND
The Abbey Theatre, Dublin announce a new production of An Ideal Husband, ‘a disconcertingly recognisable picture of a High Society as vicious as it is witty, as moralising as it is vacuous and as overdressed as it is corrupt - a picture as pertinent now as it was when first performed ... directed with hallmark theatricality and brio by Wilde aficionado Neil Bartlett, teaming up with his long-time collaborator, designer Rae Smith, to work with the Abbey for the first time’.
Thursday 14th August - Saturday 27th September

The Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre
announce
An Ideal Husband 8th – 31st May 2008
Sir Robert Chiltern – brilliant politician,
perfect gentleman, and ideal husband – is on the verge of obtaining cabinet
rank. Then the scheming and seductive Mrs. Cheveley threatens to reveal a
dark secret from his past, and the foundations of his prized career and
marriage look set to crumble. A dazzling blend of farce and morality, An
Ideal Husband is directed by PICT Artistic Director Andrew S. Paul in the
intimate Heymann Theatre.
Salome 12th-28th June 2008
Until now, the once-banned Salome has been
obscured by the popularity of Wilde’s comedies. But this exhilarating new
production, conceived by Steven Berkoff and directed by Alan Stanford of
Dublin’s renowned Gate Theatre, recreates Salome for a modern audience.
Composer and pianist Roger Doyle will join Stanford in Pittsburgh to perform
his acclaimed original improvised musical score.

Stephen
& Mr. Wilde by Jim
Bartley |
Stephen & Mr. Wilde premiered in 1993
at Persephone Theatre, Saskatoon, directed by Bill Glassco. It has been
produced in cities across Canada, including the Toronto premiere in 1995
directed by Martin Hunter, and also in a 2000 Stratford Festival
co-production with CBC Radio. The story of Stephen and Mr. Wilde spans
twenty-four hours in the late spring of 1882, in Toronto, during Oscar
Wilde’s North American lecture tour. The play explores the societal divide
between Oscar Wilde, and his Black American valet, Stephen Davenport. |
