The speculated Broadway transfer of the West End production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, starring Succession's Sarah Snook, has been confirmed.

The Picture Of Dorian Gray will be making its way to screens! According to reports, Cate Blanchett's production company Dirty Films have purchased the film rights to the current West End production of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. This version of the classic novel is adapted by Kip Williams, who reimagined the story as a vehicle for a single actor to play all the characters through the use of video screens.

Stage and screen legends Kerry Armstrong and Colin Friels are set to star in Sydney Theatre Company’s world premiere of Into the Shimmering World, the brand-new Australian epic from one of the country’s most celebrated contemporary playwrights, Angus Cerini.

Will The Picture of Dorian Gray starring Sarah Snook transfer to Broadway in 2025?

I'll admit that I have never dropped acid, but I can imagine that watching Kip Williams' adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray must come close to that experience. Part morality tale, part technical extravaganza, part fall down the rabbit hole, this is a theatrical evening that will remain long in the memory.
