European Arts Company returns with a brand new adaptation of Oscar Wildes The Picture of Dorian Gray written with Wildes grandson Merlin Holland. Following on from the success of last years The Trials of Oscar Wilde, the play is timed to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the publication of Wildes only novel in 1891. The production stars Guy Warren-Thomas (Downton Abbey, Spooks) in the title role and John Gorick (who played a memorable Oscar Wilde in The Trials) returns as Lord Henry Wotton. Combining drawing-room comedy and gothic horror, this wickedly witty Faustian tale is a hugely entertaining theatrical event. ★★★★★ 'Deserves to be seen for the fresh insights it brings to a work we think we know all too well, and for what it tells us of Wilde.' BRITISH THEATRE 'Guy Warren-Thomas is a fine Dorian Gray. A highly entertaining mix of Wildes razor-sharp wit and Victorian melodrama. THE STAGE ★★★★★ 'A cracking, irresistibly watchable cast of just 4 bring this Gothic horror story to life. Classic storytelling, a small masterpiece.' REMOTE GOAT 'This is a truly lovely production, a classic story well executed. The performances are certainly the highlight, as is the fact that Wildes grandson aided in the creation.
