Picture of Dorian Gray (version 2 dramatic reading)

The Picture of Dorian Gray, written by Oscar Wilde and published in 1891, follows the story of a young man named Dorian Gray, whose beauty captivates artist Basil Hallward. Influenced by the hedonistic worldview of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian wishes to remain eternally youthful while his portrait ages in his place. This wish leads him into a life of moral decay, with the portrait reflecting the consequences of his actions. This version features a dramatic reading of the 20-chapter 1891 text.
