Playshare Play of the week No: 21 Dorian by Oscar Wilde, adapted by Myles Breen and Limerick Youth Theatre An adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray. Cast Size: Flexible Age Range: 14+ Approx. running time: 50 minutes Setting: 19th Century London First performed by Limerick Youth Theatre, 2010 SYNOPSIS The classic Oscar Wilde novel is adapted for stage as a sequence of scenes and images inspired by the themes of the novel and not a straight narrative telling of it. Using dance, dialogue and music, the piece challenges as well as providing an entertaining response to the original material. Dorian is divided into five sections, each exploring a different theme of the novel but loosely following the narrative: Dorians Wish, Dorians World, Dorian in Love, Dorian the Murderer, Dorians Death. Dorian was the result of over 27 hours of rehearsals held over 9 weeks of workshops led by actor and director Myles Breen.
