The Picture of Dorian Gray
- Artists
- Schoolhouse Productions
Schoolhouse Productions, the Alma Tavern Theatre’s in-house company, present a stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s haunting tale of vanity and illusion.
“Dorian Gray is a beautiful man. This, along with his callousness, is what defines him.
“When Basil Hallward paints his likeness, Dorian becomes infatuated with how he looks in all his youth and glory. So much so that he forges a sinister pact to retain his looks in exchange for his soul.
is needed now More than ever
“Set in the decadence and hedonism of Victorian London, The Picture of Dorian Gray is a shrewd look into the fading morality of society, but perhaps is even more relevant in today’s world than it was when initially penned by Oscar Wilde.
Praise for Schoolhouse:
“Anna Friend’s gloriously intimate and flawlessly cast production… is one of the finest renderings of the play I have ever seen.” The Flaneur on Abigail’s Party
“A powerful and thought- provoking piece of theatre which is bold, entertaining and thoroughly lives up to the high expectations I have of this young company.”
