  3. The Picture of Dorian Gray


By Oscar Wilde
Adapted and directed by Kip Williams

The five-star cine-theatre spectacular is back!

Following sold out seasons in Melbourne and Adelaide, The Picture of Dorian Gray returns once more to Sydney Theatre Company before it’s set to take the world by storm. Don’t miss the show that Time Out called “a reinvention of theatre”.

This breathtakingly innovative production coined the “cine-theatre” genre – incorporating live and pre-recorded video with live performance and enabling a single performer to nimbly shapeshift and play all of the dark tale’s 26 characters in an audacious cascade of theatrical transformations. Eryn Jean Norvill will reprise her “tour de force” (Guardian) performance for 14 shows only.

Building on a career-long fascination with theatrical innovation and spectacular reinventions of classic stories (Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr HydeSuddenly Last SummerThe Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui), STC Artistic Director Kip Williams has written an adaption of Wilde’s century-old fable of beauty and a deal with the devil that is a magnificent mirror to our times. After a wave of five-star reviews, Williams returns with a team of some of Australia’s finest theatre-makers, to reconjure this production that has rightfully been celebrated as “genius” (Limelight).

A scintillating mix of cutting-edge contemporary theatre design, lush period drama, and astonishing live video, this vibrantly contemporary adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray is a “dazzling masterpiece no one should miss” (The Age).

Approx. duration 2 hrs (no interval). Subject to change. More info.

Following on from the success of merging live performance and live video capture, Kip Williams has given STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL AND MR Hyde the same treatment with the addition of a second performer.  Gathering the same creative team that delivered the award-winning PICTURE OF DORIAN GREY, Williams and Sydney Theatre Company test whether the same formula can be used twice.
