Behind-the-scenes rehearsal photos are in for the forthcoming stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, starring Succession’s Sarah Snook.
Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Sarah Snook, who starred as Shiv Roy in HBO’s mega-hit drama Succession, plays all 26 characters in this one-person adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic novel.
First seen at Sydney Theatre Company in 2020, The Picture of Dorian Gray is adapted and directed by Sydney Theatre Company artistic director Kip Williams.
As can be seen in Marc Brenner’s rehearsal photos, The Picture of Dorian Gray leans on technology, with intricately choreographed on-stage cameras helping to bring Sarah Snook’s performance as 26 characters from the novel to life.
This is achieved by a creative team that includes Design by Marg Horwell, Lighting Design by Nick Schlieper, Composition & Sound Design by Clemence Williams, Video Design by David Bergman and Eryn Jean Norvill is the Dramaturg & Creative Associate.
Sarah Snook made her West End debut in the 2016 production of The Master Builder starring Ralph Fiennes and directed by Matthew Warchus.
The show is the first in a new partnership between Australian producer Michael Cassel and Sydney Theatre Company, with the pair planning to export more of Sydney Theatre Company’s productions worldwide. Other producers attached to this production, suggesting a Broadway transfer, include New York producers Daryl Roth, Amanda Lipitz and Henry Tisch, joining UK-based producers Adam Kenwright and his Kindred Partners, Theatre Royal Haymarket owner Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen who runs Blavatnik’s Access Entertainment company, and UK director and producer Jonathan Church.
Fellow Succession co-star Brian Cox, who played her father Logan Roy, will also be performing on the London stage this spring, in Long Day’s Journey Into Night at the Wyndham’s Theatre from 19 March 2024.
Announced yesterday for the Theatre Royal Haymarket is a new production of A View From the Bridge starring Dominic West, which is transferring into London after Dorian Gray, following a run at the Theatre Royal Bath.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is playing the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 6 February to 11 May 2024.
