The Extraordinary Cabaret of Dorian Gray
T0
Set in last few delirious hours of his life, Dorian Gray watches sketches of his decadent lifestyle play out before him, depicting the tawdry theatres, burlesque bars, cabaret clubs and opium dens that were such a far cry from the opera houses and salons of the Victorian Gentleman. Much like the novel itself, the piece reflects the darker elements of Oscar Wilde's own life, looking also at Joris-Karl Huysman's novel Against Nature, which is often seen as one of the inspirations behind the story.
