Dorian Gray in Newbridge

The Big Telly Theatre Company will perform A picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde at the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge on February 24.



The performance starts at 8pm, and there will be a 3pm matinee the following day. Admission: €12/€10

In the play, Dorian Gray’s wish for eternal youth is granted and he sends his portrait off to the attic to grow old ungracefully while he lives for the moment and sends himself on a journey of unimaginable indulgence.

Although Wilde’s masterpiece of mystery and wit is over a hundred years old, it too remains eerily young as it foretells celebrity culture, rampant consumerism and an obsession with eternal youth.
