Original Story by Oscar Wilde, Adapted by George Lowther, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
1886, Victorian London, the corrupt Lord Henry Wotton meets the pure Dorian Gray posing for talented painter Basil Hallward. Basil paints Dorian's portrait, then gives the painting to Dorian while Lord Henry corrupts his mind and soul telling that Dorian should seek pleasure in life. Dorian loves this new lifestyle so much he makes a wish that his picture will age and wither instead of his body.
As the years go by, He is so ridden with guilt, he thinks that only full confession will absolve him of wrongdoing, Dorian decides to destroy the last vestige of his conscience. Enraged, He stabs the picture tearing it to shreds. The servants of the house awaken on hearing a cry from the locked room. The servants break into the hidden room and an unknown old man, stabbed in the heart, his face and figure withered and decrepit. He is finally identified by the rings on his fingers as Dorian Gray.
