The Picture of Dorian Gray
(inc. £1.50 ticket levy)
Show Bio
“Welcome to this, our temple of bliss, our theatre of the depraved.”
In these dying days of the 19th Century, let The Mistress and her company of outcasts take you on a journey into the darkest depths of the human heart. Every sordid detail of Oscar Wilde’s classic tale is presented in musical form for your delight and delectation.
But our performance tonight comes with a warning! As you travel into the soul of this cruel and heartless creature, you might just discover at its centre lies a mirror that shows you your own.
This world premiere production is presented by Louche Bouche Productions, from the writer of Liberty Hall (Mercury Theatre Studio, 2025).
