Succession’s Sarah Snook to star in one-woman version of The Picture Of Dorian Gray in West End
Succession star Sarah Snook will take on every role in a new version of The Picture Of Dorian Gray in the West End.
Adapted and directed by Kip Williams, based on Oscar Wilde’s classic, The Picture Of Dorian Gray will run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a limited 12-week run from 23 January 2024.
Snook will play some 26 parts in the production, which premiered in Sydney featuring Eryn Jean Norvill.
“I am tired of myself tonight. I should like to be somebody else.”
A deal with the devil; eternal youth, for the ultimate price.
This cutting-edge production delivers an explosive interplay of live performance and video in an astonishing collision of form.
Snook said: “I am elated to return to the London stage in such an astonishing piece of theatre.
“From Oscar Wilde’s remarkable original text to Kip Williams’ stunning adaptation, this story of morality, innocence, narcissism, and consequence is going to be thrilling to recreate for a new audience. I can’t wait.”
Williams added: “In creating a new piece of theatre like The Picture of Dorian Gray you always hope to have the opportunity to share it with a wider audience. I am so excited for theatre lovers in London to experience our show and am thrilled to have the extraordinary Sarah Snook bringing to life the many characters of Oscar Wilde’s remarkable story.”
The production has design by Marg Horwell, lighting by Nick Schlieper, composition and sound design by Clemence Williams and video design by David Bergman.
