NEWS: Digital Production of The Picture of Dorian Gray Extends Run

Tamara Harvey’s production will now be available to watch for an additional two weeks until the 17th April.

It has been announced today that due to popular demand, this modern take on Oscar Wilde’s story will now be streaming into April, adding two weeks onto its initial run.

Theatr Clwyd’s Artistic Director Tamara Harvey directs Henry Filloux-Bennett’s adaptation that is a co-production between the Barn Theatre, Lawrence Batley Theatre Huddersfield, Oxford Playhouse and the New Wolsey Theatre.

The production, which uses elements found in radio plays, films, documentaries as well theatrical techniques, stars Fionn Whitehead, in the title role and he is joined by Alfred Enoch as Harry Wotton, Joanna Lumley as Lady Narborough, Emma McDonald as Sibyl Vane, Russell Tovey as Basil Hallward and with Stephen Fry as the Interviewer. 

Meanwhile, the creative team behind this new digital production includes: set and costume design by Holly Pigott, assistant direction by Eleri Jones, Benjamin Collins as director of photography, sound design and original music by Harry Smith and original song by Jared Zeus.

From the creative team behind the critically acclaimed What a Carve Up!, the beloved Faustian tale by Oscar Wilde is brought kicking and screaming into a world of Instagram, Facebook and dating apps. Set in a profile pic-obsessed, filter-fixated world, the contemporary take follows influencer Dorian Gray as he makes a deal for his social star never to fade.

In order to watch the performance, audience members will receive a screening link which will activate on their booked performance date for a 48-hour period. Tickets are priced at £12 which will include both a link to the production as well as a digital programme.

The production will be available internationally, running until the 17th April. Tickets can be purchased at pictureofdoriangray.com
