"This play is ... a love letter to anyone who's ever needed to hide themselves to be safe, a history refresher on the cyclical nature of injustice, and a celebration of the immeasurable contributions the queer community has made to theatre, art and culture." -ICTC Artistic Director, Keelie Sheridan

An intoxicating reinvention - DORIAN weaves together two gripping narratives - one following the infamous rise and fall of the beautiful, hedonistic Dorian Gray, and the other exposing the real-life persecution of Oscar Wilde during his infamous trial for "gross indecency."

🎨 DORIAN is more than a play; it's a dialogue about love, identity, and societal constructs. We invite all audience members, both familiar and new, to experience this powerful production and celebrate art that challenges, inspires, and unites. 🙌

Theatre is a collaborative art, and it will take a team of 30 dedicated artists to bring DORIAN to the stage. We’re approaching the content and message of this piece with great care, ready to explore its depth, its impact, and its resonance.

DORIAN, an innovative adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, by visionary duo Phoebe Eclair-Powell & Owen Horsley. This production weaves Wilde’s iconic narrative with his personal journey, offering a fresh take on identity, mortality, and the reexamination of social constructs.

Experience the pulse-pounding excitement of “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” hailed by The Guardian as “eye-poppingly experimental” and celebrated by The Stage as a “radical adaptation” reaffirming the piece’s significance as a touchstone of queer art. linktr.ee/irishclassical
