Dorian then keeps the portrait safely hidden in his attic, but his mysterious behavior and ageless appearance begin to attract suspicion.
See it if you have never seen the film. It is a good story and this production sticks to the plot.
Don't see it if you are expecting the creepy, haunted quality that the name suggests. The mechanics of the play seem to take up too much of the production.

See it if you like Oscar Wilde and want the novel read aloud to you.
Don't see it if You don't like very wordy shows, or are irritated by bad British accents.
