The Picture of Dorian Gray
Directed by Victoria Nelson
​​
Hutt Repertory Theatre presents The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde’s haunting and thought provoking tale of beauty, vanity, and moral corruption. When the young and strikingly handsome Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he becomes captivated by the idea of remaining forever young. His wish appears to come true as he stays outwardly untouched by time while the portrait hidden away begins to reflect the consequences of his actions. Influenced by the charismatic and dangerously persuasive Lord Henry, Dorian is drawn into a life of indulgence and excess, while the portrait grows ever more distorted with each passing year. Both dark and witty, Wilde’s only novel explores the cost of vanity and the consequences of a life lived without conscience.
