New Adventures: Matthew Bourne's Dorian Gray

Dates: 6.10.2009 to 10.10.2009. Matthew Bourne's Dorian Gray freely adapted from Oscar Wilde's masterpiece. This gothic fable becomes a darkly seductive dance theatre event from master storyteller, Matthew Bourne. Set in the image obsessed world of contemporary art and politics, this 'black fairy tale' tells the story of an exceptionally alluring young man who makes a pact with the devil. Amongst London's beautiful people, Dorian Gray is the 'it boy', an icon of beauty and truth in an increasingly ugly world. The destructive power of beauty, the blind pursuit of pleasure and the darkness and corruption that lie beneath a charming facade; the themes behind Oscar Wilde's cautionary tale have never been more timely.
