Dorian Gray adaptation at Riverside Studios in April

Ruby in the Dust presents Dorian Gray, adapted by Linnie Reedman from Oscar Wilde's novel, with music and lyrics by Joe Evans, at the Riverside Studios 3, in Hammersmith, west London, from 16 Apr to 10 May 2014.

Dorian Gray is about a handsome young man who somehow preserves his youthful beauty whilst his hidden portrait gradually reveals his inner ugliness. Dorian Gray recreates the dark, murky underbelly of late Nineteenth Century London - The tawdry theatres, burlesque bars, cabaret clubs and opium dens into which the eponymous anti-hero descends, far far away from the opera houses, the salons and the gentlemen's clubs that he likes to be seen in.
