The Snap Gram of Dorian Gray

A dynamic retelling of an Oscar Wilde classic.

In the world of social media, where image is everything, Dorian’s currency has an expiration date. Young and impossibly beautiful, he dreads the day when his boyish good looks leave him. So, when his artist friend, Basil, takes a mesmerizingly gorgeous photo of him, Dorian wishes for the image to carry the burden of age and conscience instead of himself. But, is a life free of wisdom and morality really worth living?

This modern adaptation of Wilde’s classic combines physical theatre with heightened English to bring the story of Dorian Gray to Bristol in 2022.

The Snap Gram of Dorian Gray is brought to you by alumni of the Bristol Old Vic directing program Ben Nash and Ellie Jay Stevens, with dramaturgy by alumnus of the Bristol Old Vic writing program Truly Siskind-Weiss. Featuring a dynamic cast of 4, multitalented Bristol actors. Music by Andy Jenks and Hannah Bracegirdle
