“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” - Oscar Wilde

​

Neon Performing Arts presents its Summer Show - Oscar Wilde’s The Portrait of Dorian Gray retold for the 21st Century. Join us to explore an adaptation of Wilde’s narrative of a quest for a life of hedonism and excesses; all in the name of beauty. 

​

Which path would you choose to venture down; if you could do everything you wanted to do with no consequence - would you? Are there ever really no consequences to ones actions…? Watch Dorian’s fate unfold - will the vices win or virtues manage to pull him back in...?

​
