HBO's Succession star Sarah Snook returns to her Olivier Award-winning performance in Oscar Wilde's gothic horror. This innovative production, adapted and directed by the highly acclaimed, multi-award-winning Kip Williams during his tenure as Artistic Director at the renowned Sydney Theatre Company, masterfully blends live performance and video in a breathtaking fusion of artistic forms.

The story follows a young man, Dorian Gray, who remains eternally youthful while his portrait ages, reflecting his moral decay. As he indulges in hedonism and cruelty, the painting grows grotesque, ultimately revealing the cost of his corrupted soul.

But what did the critics think?

Reviews For Dorian Gray

"Clever, delicious, and performed by Snook with the giddy virtuosity of Simone Biles executing a floor routine, it reaches the gut and the heart lightly, thrusting like a fencer, by way of its playfulness and spectacle." - Vulture

"But what the worthwhile play offers - and I know there are many who pooh-pooh screens onstage as a rule - is the childlike wonderment of not understanding the logistics of what you're looking at. The first hour is marked by awed and confused "How did they do that?"s. "How did she do that?" - New York Post

"Equal parts acting masterclass, tech wizardry, illusion and clockwork stage management, all costumed and set designed with the wit and color schemes of the most vivid Cindy Sherman photographs, Dorian Gray marks audacious Broadway debuts by both Snook and director-adaptor Kip Williams." - Deadline

"At this point, theater purists may throw up their hands and demand: Why pay inflated Broadway prices for what is essentially two hours of TV? To my mind, it's sublime spectacle with impeccable dramaturgy, all spun around phenomenal acting." - Observer

"Snook's performance in Kip Williams's self-penned production is powerful in every way, an exquisitely crafted melange of determination, drive and cheekiness. On the night I saw the show, she did not drop so much as a syllable. And yet there was nothing automaton about her work, which was just as well given all of the screens that surrounded her. She's brilliant, alive and fun. All at once." - New York Daily News

"Despite the show's ruminations revolving around Dorian's ego, there is no vanity in this performance where Snook sweats, sneers, and dashes across stage. The bold production is as cinematic as it is theatrical, and a perfect showcase for its shining star." - Entertainment Weekly

"Her performance is a masterpiece in both the physical demands of theatre and the brilliance of camera work, with every subtle rise of an eyebrow captured on screen. She deserved all the cheers at the multiple curtain calls, and a very long nap." - New York Theatre Guide

"And as in Sunset, these trappings transcend gimmickry because they are contiguous withand find new ways to mirrorthe central themes of the material. When it violates the borders between art and experience, that's true to Wilde's point." - Time Out

"The integration can be so effective that it's occasionally difficult to tell whether one of the characters is a recorded projection or not (but unlike many other solo shows with multiple characters, it's almost always clear which character is talking when.) Even the various-sized screens on which the images are projected feel beautifully choreographed." - New York Theatre

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" stars the actress Sarah Snook, and only Ms. Snook. Calling it a one-woman show, though, hardly does justice to the magic trick of multiplicity she performs, a performance worthy of Oscar Wilde and his strange and seductive tale of innocence lost. It takes nothing away from Ms. Snook's performance to note that she shares the spotlight with Wilde's preening prose, so sparkling that it could charge its own admission." - New York Sun

"Despite the show's overreliance on whiz-bang technology, Snook is never anything less than jaw-dropping. The Australian actress tackles the prodigious task at hand with breathtaking precision, believably engaging in verbose conversations with her digitalized selves, and never missing a beat as she plays to each and every camera that's ceaselessly roving and whirring around her." - USA

"It is a wondrous merging of technical wizardry, clever stagecraft and incomparable artistry." - New York Stage Reivew
