| Description |
This re-imagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray is a lush period drama in knowing conversation with the here and now. Williams’ audacious use of live and pre-recorded video allows Norvill to play all 26 characters simultaneously: it’s theatrically alive and loaded with zeitgeist resonance. Wilde’s study of the corrupting effects of obsessive self-regard and the relationship between worth and appearance leaps across the century to speak straight to us today. |
