Press Reviews

"The debauchery and gothic abandon of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's modern adaptation is such a sight for stingy eyes…it's very Grand Guignol…As Mr. Wilde said, the only way to rid oneself of a temptation is to yield to it, so sink into the dark pleasures and cheeky wit of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY.“ —Washington Times. ”Gritting, gripping, and at times gut-wrenching, this provocative adaptation transplants Wilde's characters from the late eighteenth century to 1980s London, but the scandalous, often shocking heart of the story remains.“ —Washingtonian. ”Stylish, sexy and unspeakably cool…brilliantly drawn…a thoroughly engaging collection of images…a clever take on a classic story. A smartly dressed, intriguing adaptation."
