Tickets to The Picture of Dorian Gray go on sale soon with a waitlist now available to be first in line for tickets at www.doriangrayplay.com.
Wilde’s timeless text is revolutionized by Williams’ celebrated collision of form employing an explosive interplay of video and theater through an intricately choreographed collection of on-stage cameras bringing to life a dizzying 26 characters, each brought to life by Snook.
Marking her hotly anticipated Broadway debut following her critically acclaimed and Olivier Award-winning performance in the London premiere production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Australian star Sarah Snook reprises her searing portrayal of all 26 characters in the production.
Snook was most recently seen as Shiv Roy in hit series “Succession,” a role that earned her global acclaim. Over four seasons of "Succession," she received an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and a Critics Choice Award.
Enrapturing audiences, the celebrated world premiere season in 2020 extended twice in Sydney and toured to critical and audience acclaim throughout Australia. In London The Picture of Dorian Gray was adored by critics and audiences alike and earned Snook a Best Actress Olivier Award and a Best Costume Design Olivier Award for Marg Horwell.
Williams’ interpretation of beauty, excess, and a deal with the devil brings a striking resonance in our current era, holding a mirror to 21st century society’s narcissistic obsession with youth.
