The Picture of Dorian Gray


  • Sir Thomas Allen Assembly Rooms Theatre 40 North Bailey Durham, England, DH1 3ET United Kingdom (map)

Gothic classic set to the stage, taking a delve into the scariest monster of all for the Halloween season - oneself.

Infatuated by his own beauty captured in a portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. However, as he follows his friend Lord Henry Wooton in a hedonistic descent into his own desires, his sins begin to be reflected in the once handsome artwork.

Including previously censored scenes from Wilde's original and best known version, brushed over elements of much loved characters are illuminated under moonlight, and the horror that is Dorian Gray will come to life on the Sir Thomas Allen Assembly Rooms stage.
