Open Space Arts presents the Chicago premiere of DORIAN, a modern remix of Oscar Wilde's THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, directed by Aaron Holland. This three-hander explores the intersection of contemporary obsession with beauty and the historical context of Wilde's persecution for homosexuality. The cast includes Luke Gerdes as Dorian and other characters, Anthony Kayer as Henry Wotton and Wilde, and Brian Kulaga as Basil Hallward, each portraying multiple roles. DORIAN runs from November 28 to December 14, highlighting themes of vanity, power, and the consequences of refusing to age.
Open Space Arts will extend the run of its Chicago Premiere of DORIAN, by by one week, adding three performances. Open Space Arts' DORIAN is directed by 20-year veteran Chicago director, actor, and playwright Aaron Holland.
Open Space Arts will present the Chicago premiere of DORIAN, a modern remix of The Picture of Dorian Gray fused with Oscar Wilde’s prosecution for homosexuality. Running November 28–December 14, the intimate production will be directed by Aaron Holland and staged in the company’s Uptown theater.
