Το πορτρέτο του Ντόριαν Γκρέυ

Anemona Theatre celebrates its 20th anniversary with The Picture of Dorian Gray adapted for stage by Greek author and playwright Rozita Sokou. The play was the first to be presented by Anemona Theatre 17 years ago, an emblematic moment in the theatre’s history.

Dorian Grey is the favourite subject of Basil Hallward, an idealist painter who has just finished painting a portrait of him. While admiring it together with his cynical friend, lord Henry Wotton, Dorian wishes for the picture to age instead of him so that he may remain eternally young. His wish becomes true!

The devastating influence of lord Henry who teaches him that only external beauty and thirst for pleasure are to be ravished, absolve Dorian Grey of any compassion and humanity. Soon enough, he surpasses his mentor and begins, now free from moral barriers, to explore the darkest paths of debauchery, where evilness becomes a synonym of freedom of thought, and everyone else becomes a pawn of his insatiable thirst. Yet the portrait, which constantly reflects a real image of his soul, proves that what he would rather deny, actually exists.
