Kate Unwin An Ideal Husband

27th March – 12th April 2003

Venue: Leicester Haymarket Theatre Main Stage

 

Three mirrored doorways moved using pulleys under the stage surface to create the different scenes. A different painting flew in also – each one featuring Oscar Wilde’s face. Oscar Wilde’s love of Whistler’s Peacock Room inspired the peacock theme which ran through every detail. The costumes were inspired by the work of artist Aubrey Beardsley.

“Paul Kerryson’s sumptuous production at the Haymarket is one to drool over. It is spectacularly staged, with huge, interchangeable mirrored doors reflecting every piece of political intrigue… with peacocks suggested in everything from the lighting to the colouring of the stage floor… gorgeously costumed as well as designed by Kate Unwin.” – The Stage review
