When the irresistible Dorian Gray sees the magnificent portrait his friend Basil has painted of him, he laments that he will grow old while the picture will always remain young. Dorian strikes a Faustian bargain and is granted eternal youth while the portrait ages and records his sins. Corrupted by Lord Henry Wotton who delights in being a bad influence, Dorian’s pursuit of pleasure devolves into a life of sin and corruption and ultimately devastating consequences. Oscar Wilde’s scandalous classic novel comes to life in this new one-act adaptation!
