The Picture of Dorian Gray

By: Oscar Wilde

Narrated by: Anna Grace, Nik Sliwerski, Andrew Coleman, Lance Rasmussen, Amanda Friday, Sarah Mitchell, Tyler Hyrchuk

The Online Stage presents The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

Dorian Gray has a portrait in oil done by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry and soon falls into his hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only things worth pursuing in life.

Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin...
