Sinopse
This powerful new recording of Wilde’s famous novel tells the unforgettable story of a hedonistic young man who makes a sinister deal to preserve his youth. When his wish is granted, Dorian Gray slips into a life of sensuality, debauchery, and murder.
In this uncensored version, TV star James Warwick’s inspired, nuanced narration is followed by a fascinating conversation. The actor talks candidly with Alison Larkin about Oscar Wilde and Warwick's own challenges as a gay man living in London at a time when homosexuality was illegal.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and playwright who is celebrated still for his sharp wit, flamboyant style, and sparkling conversation.
James Warwick is most famous for his starring role playing Tommy in Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence series on PBS for Masterpiece Theater. He has also played many leading roles on Broadway and London's West End, originating the role of Brad in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and playing King Arthur in Camelot. His last starring role in an Oscar Wilde play was in Peter Hall’s production of The Ideal Husband on Broadway. His narration of Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles, also for Alison Larkin Presents, also received rave reviews worldwide.
Resumo da Crítica
"Listeners will be enchanted by James Warwick's narration of Oscar Wilde's
famous and controversial novel. The story involves a man named Dorian Gray
who has been corrupted by his youth and physical beauty. Several
productions of this classic have already been produced, but Warwick's
performance is simply arresting. He narrates in a strong voice with an
elegant cadence and vocal color that befits each character and the overall
tone of the work. Any hint of monotony in the middle can be attributed to
slow moments in Wilde's writing. Overall, Warwick's performance is smooth
and melodic. The audiobook also comes with an interview with Warwick in
which he recounts his own life as a gay man in 1960s London. A.C. Winner of
AudioFile Earphones Award." (AudioFile Magazine)
