The Picture of Dorian Gray is a highly ambitious production. The acclaimed adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel of the same name, it sees Eryn Jean Norvill and alternate performer Nikki Shiels inhabit 26 different characters in a wildly inventive stage performance that mixes both live and pre-recorded video elements.

Both Eryn Jean Norvill and Nikki Shiels joined Richard Watts for a longform conversation about bringing Dorian Gray to life and the trials and tribulations of the incredibly ambitious performance.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is on now at Playhouse, at Arts Centre Melbourne until August 7.
