The Picture of Dorian Gray
par
Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray follows a young man whose portrait bears the marks of the life he leads while his own appearance remains unchanged. The story explores beauty, vanity, influence, and the consequences of pursuing pleasure without regard for others.
In this radio adaptation, Wilde’s tale is presented as a dramatic performance, using voices and sound to bring its characters and moral tensions to life. The title identifies the work featured in this recording.
The result is a dark, reflective story about the divide between outward appearance and inner character, with Wilde’s elegant, unsettling premise at its center.
