The Picture of Dorian Gray: A Restoration
Adapted by Samuel Orange, from the novel by Oscar Wilde
Samuel Orange
The Alchemic Order consider The Picture of Dorian Gray one of the most important works of western literature. In our adaptation, a reappraisal of the metaphysical premise of the novel paves the way for a new theatrical experience. 125 years after publication, Oscar Wilde's infamous novel has been radically transformed into this critically acclaimed production which will transport you to the luxurious, languid and licentious world of Wilde and his characters. As guests at Mr. Gray's town house in The Royal Borough of Greenwich, you are invited on a journey through time, space and imagination, from aristocratic Victoriana to the decadent underworld of a Gothic nightmare and beyond.
The House of Orange (in The Royal Borough of Greenwich); address is given out at booking, as it is a 'secret' address.

"Nothing short of brilliant. Every cast member was utterly captivating. This is the best piece of theatre that I’ve seen in years."
"A refreshingly unusual and well-executed production, fuelled by an intense engagement with the classic source material. This ambitious adaptation is executed with loving attention to detail and no small amount of flair."

“Great acting, inventive staging and clever writing. This is the future of creative and imaginative theatre."
"Wildly inventive. An ambitious, creative and memorable experience and we are certainly made to feel welcome guests in the house."
"Fondly pieced together by a lover of both alternative theatre and the book. They loyally stick close to the clever words of Wilde and the staging of this play is a clever idea, the specifics of which are yet to be done anywhere else."
"An experience like no other. It is honestly enchanting. You can't imagine the surprises that The Alchemic Order have in store for you. It feels like you have witnessed something special."
"The production was a treat; tightly scripted, adeptly delivered, and blessed with a lightning dynamic that made the evening fly by."
