The Vaudeville Theatre is located at 404 Strand, London, WC2R 0NH. The closest Rail Station is Charing Cross.
The foremost theatre at this place was designed by C J Phipps and opened on 16th April, 1870. The theatre was subsequently remodelled, to designs once more by C J Phipps, and reopened on 13th January, 1891.
This theatre added the still surviving four-storey high frontage in Portland stone. The theatre then closed again on 7th November, 1925 when the interior was completely rebuilt to designs by Robert Atkins, the auditorium was changed from a horseshoe shape to the current rectangle shape, reopening on 23rd February, 1926.
Playing at The Vaudeville Theatre at the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 is An Ideal Husband. "Sooner or later, we shall all have to pay for what we do...No one should be entirely judged by their past." Oscar Wilde's exceptional An Ideal Husband is a tale of ethical motive, blackmail and political corruptness.
Characterised by Wilde's barbed wit and effervescent sense of humour, the play is also a charitable portraiture of a marriage. Sir Robert Chiltern (Alexander Hanson), a highly eminent government minister, finds his reputation, career and marriage to the affectionate but noble-minded Lady Chiltern (Rachael Stirling) imperilled by the arrival of the mysterious Mrs Cheveley (Samantha Bond).
Confronted with a damning secret from his past, Sir Robert turns for aid to his friend, Lord Goring (Elliot Cowan) an apparently idle philanderer, who himself has a history with Mrs Cheveley. Can this dandyish philosopher save his friend from downfall? And will Lady Chiltern be able to reconcile the man she loves with her prospects of An Ideal Husband?
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16th October 1854 - 30th November 1900) was an Irish writer, poet, and great aesthete who, after writing in assorted forms throughout the 1880s, became one of London's most stylish playwrights in the early 1890s. Nowadays he is remembered for his quips, plays and the tragedy of his imprisonment, followed by his early death.
At the height of his fame and success, whilst his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was still on stage in London, Wilde sued his lover's father for libel. After a series of trials, Wilde was convicted of gross indecency with other men and imprisoned for two years, held to hard labour. In prison he wrote De Profundis, a long letter which discusses his spiritual journey through his trials, forming a dark counterpoint to his earlier philosophy of pleasure. Upon his release he left immediately for France, never to return to Ireland or Britain. There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, a long poem commemorating the harsh rhythms of prison life. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six.
