The Story
By Oscar Wilde, adapted by Kip Williams
“I am tired of myself tonight. I should like to be somebody else.”
Seeing himself in a dazzling new portrait, an exquisite young man makes a Faustian wish for eternal youth. Dorian Gray throws himself into a life of wanton luxury, drifting from the pampered salons of Victorian London to the darkest recesses of the capital, revelling in the splendour of his beauty, which remains forever golden. Meanwhile, the portrait – banished to an attic – becomes more and more grotesque.
