Synopsis

'The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.’

Dorian Gray – handsome, hedonistic, narcissistic – sells his soul for eternal beauty. Basil and Henry join him for the ride until it all goes too far, and the hangovers become murderous...

Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was a succès de scandale on its publication in 1891, accused of violating the laws of public morality. It immediately captured the minds of its readers, the spirit of the age, and the soul of a man with nothing to declare but his genius.

This thrilling stage adaptation follows one man’s descent from glorious debauchery to epic self- destruction, intertwined with Wilde’s own life story, his tragic persecution, and ultimate imprisonment in Reading Gaol.
