The Picture of Dorian Gray by John Osborne was adapted from Oscar Wilde's only novel.

A dark and witty parable investigating Victorian hypocrisy and the many manifestations of personal greed, it becomes in Osborne's version, a cocktail of murder, impeccable aphorisms, beauty and fascinating characters, as humour mixes with horror, in an elegant, savage way.

Beautiful Dorian Gray is idolised by painter Basil Hallward, who has captured the young man's looks, in a portrait; Dorian wishes he could always be the way he is the day Basil finishes the picture. Meanwhile, wealthy, influential, Lord Henry Wotton also falls under Dorian's spell and indulges his every whim.

Dorian can have anything he wants and remains seemingly unchanged by the passage of time, but everything has a price; if Dorian can do what he likes to whom he likes, who will pay the price?
A wonderful mix of gothic horror and brilliant writing, the combination of two of our greatest playwrights is as irresistible as it is thrilling!
