The smash-hit production of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY will make its UK premiere in January at The Theatre Royal Haymarket, starring the critically acclaimed Sarah Snook in a ground-breaking adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel.

This stunning modern reworking of Wilde's devastatingly brilliant story is adapted and directed by Director Kip Williams.

Wilde's timeless text is revolutionised by William's celebrated collision of form employing an explosive interplay of video and theatre through an intricately choreographed collection of on-stage cameras bringing to life a dizzying 26 characters, each brought to life by Snook.

**What is THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY about?**

A dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

After a friend paints a portrait of him that perfectly captures his beauty, Dorian utters the fateful wish that the portrait age instead of him. When his wish comes true, Dorian falls into a lavish life of vice and pleasure, remaining eternally young and attractive while his soul - trapped inside the portrait - withers away.
