Our next show is
An Ideal Husband
by Oscar Wilde
11 – 18 May 2024
An Ideal Husband revolves around a blackmail scheme that forces a married couple to re-examine their moral standards — providing, along the way, a wry commentary on the rarity of politicians who can claim to be ethically pure. A supporting cast of young lovers, society matrons, an overbearing father, and a formidable femme fatale continually exchange sparkling repartee, keeping the play moving at a lively pace. Like most of Wilde’s plays, this scintillating drawing-room comedy is wise, well-constructed, and deeply satisfying.
This production will be performed in the studio on the first floor, which is accessed by a flight of stairs.

Get Involved
Chads is run entirely by volunteer members and we are always on the look out for more people to join us. Even if being on stage is not your thing, there are a huge range of activities you can become involved with.
Chads Theatre was founded just after the First World War as Cheadle Hulme Amateur Dramatic Society, performing in different venues in the Cheadle Hulme area. In October 1959 the members opened their own premises and have continued to develop the Theatre ever since, providing a first class venue for its members and patrons. We currently perform six main stage and two studio plays each season, and the theatre and its members are the recipients of many awards.
