A disturbing tale of a young man’s uncanny ability to remain young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery. A Picture of Dorian Gray, the scandalous 1891 bestseller, was considered proof of Wilde’s genius, but also of his perversion: a damning piece of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Believe me, no civilised man ever regrets a pleasure.As London slides from one century into the next, a young man is cursed with the uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery. With its glittering dialogue, provocative imagery and radical questioning of sexual and moral freedoms all brought sharply into focus by this brand-new adaptation, Oscar Wildes infamous parable has lost none of its power to provoke and disturb.Using Wildes original words, a company of sixteen actors and all of adaptor Neil Bartletts trademark theatricality, this new stage version of Wildes black-hearted parable was commissioned by and first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Irelands national theatre in the autumn season of 2012. This adaptation of Wilde's black-hearted masterpiece brings his most dangerous anti-hero back to theatrical life in Bartletts trademark flamboyant style.
