With his friend, Lord Henry leading him to a life of increasing debauchery, violence and pleasure, Dorian discovers the destructive power of beauty, the blind pursuit of pleasure and the darkness and corrupting that lie beneath the charming facade of the human soul."Dorian, terrified by the idea of losing his beauty and youth makes a deal. A deal that he would soon regret. Dorian’s face would remain untouched by his debaucheries; however his portrait will instead record the corruption and ugliness of his soul."For tickets and more information, call the Actors Studio at 0151 709 9034  or visit www.theactorsstudio.com.
