DAS BILDNIS DES DORIAN GRAY
About Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray
„Theatre in the Rathaus Prunksaal with free admission. Recommended for ages 14 and up."
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is one of the greatest classics of world literature. Its attractive title character remains forever young after a careless wish, while his portrait ages in his place and reveals each of his sins and moral failings as a terrible grimace.
The Picture of Dorian Gray speaks directly to our time. The cult of eternal youth could hardly be portrayed more precisely, and faces smoothed with Botox and Instagram photos edited with Photoshop could hardly be mirrored more clearly than in Oscar Wilde's mysterious masterpiece.
Stage adaptation by John von Düffel Featuring Korbinian Greindl, Thomas Ecker, Tyler Pappenberger and Ina Lehmann; directed by Thomas Ecker Recommended for ages 14 and up
Duration: approx. 50 minutes
