Court Jester Theatre

Join Dorian on a descent into debauchery. This Picture of Dorian Gray explores the ‘Wildest’ side of Dorian and the darker side of Wilde as we expose Mr. Gray’s sensational secret. Why does he look so young? Why is he so unscarred by sin? And what became of that pleasant portrait Basil Hallward painted of him?

Find out as Court Jester Theatre tackle this timeless tale. An absurd retelling in the highest fashion of fast fringe theatre. With a lavishly low budget and scandalising style, this show is not to be missed. The ‘Wildest’ soiree this summer season.
