Matthew Bourne’s makeover of Dorian Gray will be at the Birmingham Hippodrome from 10 to 14 November 2009. Tickets are available on 0844 338 5000 or from the Hippodrome website.
Allow me to copy/paste some blurb:
Oscar Wilde’s gothic fable becomes a darkly seductive dance theatre event from master storyteller Matthew Bourne. Set in the image obsessed world of contemporary art and politics, this “black fairy tale” tells the story of an exceptionally alluring young man who makes a pact with the devil. Amongst London’s beautiful people, DORIAN GRAY is the “It Boy” – an icon of beauty and truth in an increasingly ugly world
Here’s a video trailer (direct link to YouTube):
This production is by New Adventures and is being brought to Birmingham in association with the Shout! Festival. It’s also worth mentioning that there’ll be a post-show talk on 10 November.
