SUMMARY:The Picture of Dorian Gray\, presented by Box Tale Soup
DESCRIPTION:–An original adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s novel commissioned
  by the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library\n“What does it profit a m
 an if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”\n\nAward-winning t
 heater company Box Tale Soup returns to the Clark Library with a re-mounti
 ng of their original adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray\, complete w
 ith a reimagined set and new puppets. This production of Oscar Wilde’s h
 aunting story of evil\, debauchery\, and scandal features exquisite puppet
 ry and a powerful original soundtrack. Dorian Gray\, young and exceptional
 ly beautiful\, sinks deep into a frivolous lifestyle of glamorous luxury a
 nd selfish abandon\, seemingly unchanged by corruption and untouched by ag
 e. But behind a thick\, locked door\, beneath a dark\, heavy curtain\, Dor
 ian’s portrait tells a different story….\n\nFeaturing: Noel Byrne\, An
 tonia Christophers\, and Mark Collier\n\nPresentation Length: 70 minutes w
 ith no intermission\, followed by a Q &amp\; A session with Box Tale Soup 
 members\n\n\n\nBox Tale Soup is an award-winning theater company whose cri
 tically acclaimed productions have delighted thousands of people in the UK
  and abroad. The name comes from their signature style\, packing whole han
 dmade worlds into a vintage trunk with a delicious mix of puppetry\, movem
 ent\, theater\, and music. Dance-like choreography and fervent attention t
 o detail combine with beautifully considered writing that puts the story f
 irst—this is an artisanal\, handcrafted approach to theater with a style
  unlike any other. Seamlessly blending multiple disciplines\, including pu
 ppetry\, mask\, physical theater\, and all-original music\, in the world o
 f Box Tale Soup even the stories you know aren’t quite as you remember.\
 n\nArts on the Grounds creates intersections of literature and the perfor
 ming arts. Events have included modern interpretations of classical theate
 r and site-specific productions designed for the Clark grounds. The progra
