The theater gods granted my wish that the play would transfer from London to this side of the pond, for it is now in New York through June, still with Ms. Snook in charge. Here are reviews from the Washington Post and New York Times, as well as TheaterMania's less enthusiastic take.
And here is my February 2024 plug:
"As we prepare for next week's discussion of Matthew Sturgis' monumental biography of Oscar Wilde, I found this TheaterMania review of Sarah Snook's performance in a solo show based on The Picture of Dorian Gray timely indeed. With a flock of video screens floating above her, Snook (whom many of us know as Shiv Roy from "Succession") plays every single character in Wilde's text--from Dorian, to his hedonistic mentor Lord Henry Wotton, and tortured artist Basil Hallward. It sounds amazing; here's hoping it transfers from London to this side of the pond! (This just in: The Economist's reviewer is also wildly enthusiastic about the play.)"
