Dorian by Phoebe Eclair-Powell

A thrilling stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, following one man's descent from glorious debauchery to epic self-destruction.

'Eye-poppingly experimental.. an explosion of glamorous and grotesque characters – some Victorian, some contemporary and some pure camp figments of the imagination... a dizzying adventure that always dares to dazzle... so very brave and original'

* Guardian *

'A radical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's gothic novel that reaffirms and celebrates the piece's significance as a touchstone of queer art'

* The Stage *

'Sizzles with homoerotic fervour... a deliciously camp rebuke of the attitudes which saw a man humiliated, brutalised and outcast for being gay'

* Telegraph *

Phoebe Eclair-Powell won the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting for Shed: Exploded View. Her other plays include WINK, Fury, Epic Love and Pop Songs and Harm. Owen Horsley is Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Cheek by Jowl.
