Sydney Theatre Company’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning production of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” will return to Australia in 2027 for limited seasons in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Nikki Shiels will return to the role, playing 26 characters. Shiels also featured as the alternate performer for the 2022 Sydney and Melbourne seasons.
The production will play at Sydney Theatre Company’s Roslyn Packer Theatre, from Wednesday, June 30th – Sunday, July 25th, followed by Brisbane at Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Glasshouse Theatre from Tuesday, August 10th – Saturday, August 28th.
The run will conclude at the Arts Centre Melbourne’s Ian Potter Theatre, from Tuesday, September 7th – Saturday, September 18th.
Kip Williams, Director and Adaptor, said: “I am delighted to be bringing The Picture of Dorian Gray home to Australia next year, and so excited to once more have the opportunity to share this story with the amazing audiences of Melbourne and Sydney and introduce Dorian to Brisbane.
“I am also over the moon to be reuniting with the phenomenal Nikki Shiels. Nikki is one of the greatest actors of her generation, and I cannot wait to see her pour her prodigious gifts into all 26 characters of Oscar Wilde’s prophetic tale.”
“The Picture of Dorian Gray” premiered at Sydney Theatre Company in 2020 with Eryn Jean Norvill and toured Australia, including two encore seasons in Sydney.
