About the Production
Fearing the ravages of time and realizing the impermanence of youth, Dorian Gray makes a fateful wish-that his almost supernaturally lifelike portrait grow old while he remains forever young and beautiful. Synetic’s inventiveness and unforgettable visuals will elevate Oscar Wilde’s fantastical story to yet another level, following a long list of successful literary adaptations of such well-known classics as Dracula, Faust, Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher, Jekyll and Hyde, The Master and Margarita, and The Three Musketeers.
The Vampire’s Ball will be held Friday, November 1. Tickets are $60 and include admission to that evening’s performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and admission to the post-show party in Synetic’s new studio space. The post-show party will have an open bar, costume contest and dancing DJ’d by Synetic’s resident composer Konstantine Lortkipanidze.
