A beautiful, narcissistic young man becomes infatuated by the exquisite portrait that Basil Hallward has painted of him.

He makes a Faustian pact that he will remain forever young while the picture grows old.

The Picture of Dorian Gray features a talented cast familiar from stage and screen, including Spooks and Downton Abbey star Guy Warren-Thomas as Dorian Gray and West End star Gwynfor Jones as Lord Henry.

Stephen Fry has called the production ‘utterly compelling and heart-rending, with brilliant ensemble acting.”
