“The Picture of Dorian Gray” in Théâtre Princesse Grace

“The Picture of Dorian Gray,” show in English by Oscar Wilde with Arnaud Denis, Fabrice Scott, Solenn Marianni and Maxime De Toledo on Tuesday 8 May, at 8.30 pm in Théâtre Princesse Grace.

Oscar Wilde was a perfect francophone and ardent Francophile, but we can only rejoice to hear him in his native language. After the success of his adaptation of the Portrait of Dorian Gray in January 2016 at the Princess Grace Theater, Thomas Le Douarec – fine connoisseur of the work – returns to Monaco with the original version.

Through the magic of a vow, Dorian Gray retains the grace and beauty of youth. Only his portrait will age. The young dandy then devotes himself to all the experiences, intoxicated with sensations and searches for secret and refined pleasures. “Follies are the only things we never regret. We must heal the soul by the senses, heal the senses by the soul. ”

Oscar Wilde wanted to free man by giving him the model of the artist. In a refined language, the author questions society, marriage, morality and art.

Tickets are available at €22-€33.
