Synopsis

Wilde's masterpiece conveys a feeling of "willful courage and despair", qualities which echo the spirit of Wilde himself. This story of a man who preserves his youth and is feted by society, while his portrait deteriorates with age is also superb entertainment.
Shepherd's brilliant and concise dramatisation highlights the relevance of this tale in the modern world, where, as Wilde says, "One can never pay too high a price for any sensation".
