Description
Oscar Wilde's classic tale of a man who, exhilarated by his friends' praise of his youth and beauty, asks to be able to retain them eternally has been elegantly transformed. The adaptation retains 'all the wonder of Oscar Wilde's text' while portraying the story 'in a fresh, new fashion.'
