Dunkirk star Fionn Whitehead on updating Oscar Wilde for the Instagram age A new theatre-film production imagines Dorian Gray as a young man who enters a Faustian pact to maintain the perfection of his online image Fionn Whitehead stars in The Picture of Dorian Gray Credit: Barn Theatre In his annus mirabilis of 1891, Oscar Wilde wrote his first successful play (Lady Windermere’s Fan), most of Salome, a long political essay and four books, among them his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. A Faustian thriller for the age of aestheticism, the scenario of Dorian Gray – which Wilde had already published in a shortened form in a magazine – has become as familiar as an heirloom: admiring a portrait of himself, the hedonistic anti-hero is granted his wish to stay fresh-faced, while the painting, stashed in his attic, becomes grotesque in direct proportion to his debauchery and vice. The artwork decays; the body in nature achieves the perfection of artifice.
