Oscar WildeÍs classic tale of horror begins when Dorian GrayÍs portrait is painted and reveals him to be a man of outer beauty. Gray realizes then that he cannot possibly stay as young as that time. He makes a shocking wish, which comes true. No matter how he behaved, he stayed youthful and his portrait became older and older. Discover the greed, corruption, and redemption in the Calico Illustrated Classics adaptation of WildeÍs The Picture of Dorian Gray.

3.5 I think I was expecting more drama since I've seen (two?) movies of the story. Still really enjoyed the wit and banter.
