The Picture of Dorian Gray – first look trailer from new online production

A first look trailer of The Picture of Dorian Gray’s new online production has been revealed.

Fionn Whitehead stars in the title role, joined by Alfred Enoch as Harry Wotton, Joanna Lumley as Lady Narborough, Emma McDonald as Sibyl Vane and Russell Tovey as Basil Hallward with Stephen Fry as the Interviewer.

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.

Utilising elements found in radio plays, films, documentaries as well as traditional theatrical techniques, The Picture of Dorian Gray will run for two weeks between 16 and 31 March with tickets available online here for £12.

Available to stream internationally, tickets will give audience members a screening link that will be available for 48 hours.

Based on the novel by Oscar Wilde, the production is written by Henry Filloux-Bennett with direction by Tamara Harvey, 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.
