News: Critically acclaimed digital The Picture of Dorian Gray announces two week extension

Barn Theatre’s critically acclaimed online production of The Picture of Dorian Gray has announced a two week extension, with a completion date of 17 April.

Directed by Theatr Clwyd’s artistic director Tamara Harvey, and adapted from Oscar Wilde’s novel by Henry Filloux-Bennett, the show stars Fionn Whitehead as Dorian Gray, Alfred Enoch as Harry Wotton, Joanna Lumley as Lady Narborough, Emma McDonald as Sibyl Vane and Russell Tovey as Basil Hallward, with Stephen Fry as the Interviewer.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a co-production with Barn Theatre, Lawrence Batley Theatre Huddersfield, Oxford Playhouse and the New Wolsey Theatre.

Utilising elements found in radio plays, films, documentaries and theatre, this is a fresh take on a classic from the creative team behind the acclaimed What a Carve Up!.

Set in a profile pic-obsessed, filter-fixated world, this contemporary take follows influencer Dorian Gray as he makes a deal for his social star never to fade.
