In his stage productions, the Australian theater director Kip Williams “takes the best of cinema and the essence of theatre and combines them into a new space where you can see the juxtaposition of those art forms.” A great example of Williams’s method is his adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, which had an unprecedented three-season, sold-out run in Sydney. Wilde’s classic is set in motion when the artist Basil Hallward, enthralled by the young and beautiful Dorian Gray, paints his portrait. While sitting for Hallward, Dorian wishes that his portrait would age instead of him—“I would give my soul for that,” he say. He gets his wish. Williams’s version casts one woman in all 26 of the book’s roles, a feat accomplished through recorded video projections. For the show’s much-anticipated New York debut, Succession’s Sarah Snook reprises her Olivier Award-winning performance in the show’s recent London run. —Jensen Davis
