An Ideal Husband

As the days in DC are too quickly rushing to an end, I attended another of my STC plays, Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. The set design was beautiful, and the acting was as always superb. The main setting was almost like a elegant photograph or painting of a 19th century rich person’s hall, prominently backed by a beautiful sweeping staircase with flowers all around. The play was entertaining and well executed, but it didn’t blow me away — more the content of the play than the execution. I’d seen this once before with CalShakes, but I don’t exactly remember it. I’m going to miiss these when I can’t go to great plays 5 minutes from home.
