Sir Robert and Lady Chiltern have the perfect marriage, and Robert will do anything to keep it that way. When a figure from the past threatens him with blackmail, Robert turns to his clever friend Lord Goring to save him. Will Goring be able to salvage to situation, or will the Chilterns go down in disgrace? Oscar Wilde’s mastery of the witty retort is on full display in this play of friends, spouses, love, and dirty, dirty blackmail!
