Adapted from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion.

A young man’s soul becomes trapped in his portrait, granting him eternal youth and leading him to a life of debauchery. Incorporating excerpts from Wilde’s larger body of work, this evergreen tale is brought to life once more as we explore how art reveals us to ourselves.

Performances will take place in the Samuel Beckett Theatre on February 11th-13th 2026. All funds raised will go directly towards the production. We are incredibly grateful for any and all donations.
