Following sold out performances during the first weekend of the Brighton Fringe, Blue Devil Productions has released a stunning new trailer for their version of The Tragedy of Dorian Gray. Watch it now, then book your tickets to see it live or online!
The Blue Devil production, which was due to debut at last year’s Brighton Fringe but was postponed due to COVID, returns to run live at the Rialto from 22-24 June 2021. Theatre fans who can’t get to Brighton can also watch it online from now until 27 June 2021.
It’s 1965, the world has changed, and London is swinging…
In a studio in Chelsea, a young man is about to have his portrait painted. From there, Dorian’s story of fame, vanity, lust and corruption will take audiences on a twisted odyssey through heartbreak, betrayal and a touch of bloody murder.
This brand new adaptation of The Tragedy of Dorian Gray is written and directed by Dinwiddy, co-founder and Artistic Director of Blue Devil Productions. Dinwiddy previously directed Blue Devil’s Ruffian on the Stair, and wrote and directed Apparatus and The Geminus.
Maximus Polling leads the cast of The Tragedy of Dorian Gray, taking the title role. Kace Monney stars as Harry Wotton. Tara Clark, Christopher Sherwood and Heather Alexander also star. While Tom Taplin plays the role of Alan Campbell for the filmed production, live audiences will see the role played by Conor Litten.
