Set in the image-obsessed worlds of contemporary art and politics, this black fairy tale tells the story of an exceptionally alluring young man who makes a pact with the devil.

Among London's beautiful people, Dorian Gray is the "It Boy" - an icon of beauty and truth in an increasingly ugly world. The themes behind Wilde's cautionary tale - the destructive power of beauty; the blind pursuit of pleasure; the darkness and corruption that lie beneath the charming facade - have never been timelier.

The cast includes Richard Winsor as Dorian Gray, and Michela Meazza as Lady H. They are joined by Jason Piper in the role of Basil Hallward. Jason last worked with New Adventures dancing The Swan in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake in 2005. Other cast members include: Ashley Bain, Joe Colasanti, Jared Hageman, Dominic Lamb, Christopher Marney, Dominic North, Joe Walkling and Chloe Wilkinson.

Matthew Bourne's first new production in three years reunites the team that created the double Olivier award-winning hit Play Without Words. Bourne is co-director and choreographer of the smash-hits Mary Poppins and Oliver! New Adventures are the foremost dance theatre company in the UK, having created a series of highly popular productions including The Car Man, Edward Scissorhands and Swan Lake.

Dorian Gray was awarded the Edinburgh Festival Herald Angel Award for Excellence at the 2008 Festival. More accolades followed at the National Dance Awards, with New Adventures nominated for Outstanding Company. Matthew Bourne was also nominated in the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards 2008 in the Best Choreography category.
