Thomas Le Douarec's Adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' Returns to Le Lucernaire

A theatrical production based on Oscar Wilde's classic novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is currently being presented at Le Lucernaire. This adaptation, created by Thomas Le Douarec, revisits the story of a young man whose portrait ages while he remains youthful, exploring themes of beauty, morality, and corruption. The production originally premiered at the same venue ten years ago and is now celebrating its 1,200th performance as a successful revival. The narrative follows Dorian Gray, a handsome dandy influenced by the immoral Lord Henry, as he pursues a life of pleasure while his painted portrait bears the physical marks of his sins. Critical reception has been positive, with publications including Le Figaro describing it as 'brillant,' Télérama TT calling it 'très réussi,' and L'OBS labeling it 'remarquable.' The event is presented in partnership with Club Artistik Rezo. The production highlights the enduring relevance of Wilde's work through this contemporary interpretation.
