The Picture of Dorian Gray By Oscar Wilde adapted by Paul Stebbings

About

Eternal Youth at a cost!

In Victorian high society, Dorian Gray is beautiful, wealthy and adored. He agrees to pose for a portrait by Basil Hallward, who has become obsessed with him, and comes under the bad influence of Basil's friend, Henry Wotton. The final portrait is a masterpiece and, struck by his own appearance, Dorian pledges his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

It works for many years....
...until he looks at the painting.

Dorian is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret, while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society.
With no apparent consequences to his actions...
...how far will he travel down the road to hell?

This contemporary adaptation concentrates on the Gothic themes, and uses physical techniques to create a dark backdrop to what is now regarded as a Literary Classic, this story will provoke thought, challenge and shock.

His portrait absorbed his sins, but at what price?
