The Classic Serial: The Picture of Dorian Gray

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The conclusion of Oscar Wilde's famous novel in Nick McCarty's two-part dramatisation.

The story of a gilded and spoilt hedonist who, Faust-like, makes a foolish wish - the granting of which destroys him. As the years pass, though he lives entirely for his own gratification, Dorian retains his extraordinarily youthful beauty. His picture in the attic, however, tells a very different story.

(Repeated from Sunday)
