Synopsis
Believe me, no civilised man ever regrets a pleasure... As London slides from one century into the next, a young man is cursed with the uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery. With its glittering dialogue, provocative imagery and radical questioning of sexual and moral freedoms all brought sharply into focus by this brand-new adaptation, Oscar Wilde's infamous parable has lost none of its power to provoke and disturb. Using Wilde's original words, a company of sixteen actors and all of adaptor Neil Bartlett's trademark theatricality, this new stage version of Wilde's black-hearted parable was commissioned by and first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Ireland's national theatre in the autumn season of 2012.

Newspapers & Magazines
"'Bartlett's new adaptation - is refreshingly and illuminatingly unconventional.' - Irish Times 'Arresting adaptation - It glitters artfully; it leaves us desolate.' - Guardian 'It is a long time since Dublin was shocked by Oscar Wilde, but Neil Bartlett's adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray does something to recall the tremors - Bartlett's real gift is to capture the lethal surprise of Wilde's only novel.' - Observer 'MESMERIC - a creative coup that still remains faithful to Oscar's floridly perfect novel.' - Irish Independent"
