The Picture Of Dorian Gray at the Kirk Theatre

N.O.M.A.D.S. and Adam Blanshay present the World Premiere of Daniel Mitura's new stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic The Picture of Dorian Gray, opening at Theatre Row's Kirk Theatre on 25 Jan 2010, following previews from 21 Jan and running through to 6 Feb 2010.

In The Picture of Dorian Gray, the only published novel of the famed master of literacy - Oscar Wilde; newly adapted for the stage by Daniel Mitura, the young, impressionable, and stunningly beautiful Dorian Gray sells his soul for eternal youth.

Convinced by the dangerously clever aristocrat Lord Henry Wotton that youth and pleasure are to be valued above all else, and supported by the devotion of the artist who painted the fatal portrait, Basil Hallward, Dorian Gray dives into a life of hedonistic abandon, falling in love with and then quickly abandoning young actress Sibyl Vane, and poisoning the lives of countless others, leading them down to darkness with his strange and dangerous charm. While his body is immune to the ravages of time and sin, his soul is not, and by the end Dorian is faced with the ultimate choice: does he save the picture, or save himself? Or have the two become inextricably linked?

Directed by Henning Hegland, the cast of The Picture of Dorian Gray features Kaolin Bass, Christina Broccolini, Leif Huckman, Vayu O'Donnell, Wil Petre and Jade Rothman.

The production's design team is Tania Bijlani (set design), Ciera Wells (costume design) and Joe Novak (lighting design).
