THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

by Oscar Wilde | Read by Steven Crossley

Classics • 9 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1891

Steven Crossley provides a riveting performance of Oscar Wilde’s classic tale of morality, hypocrisy, and depravity. Wilde’s subtle, ironic comments are handled with ease by Crossley. He delivers Dorian Gray’s fateful statement - -“If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! . . . I would give my soul for that!” -- with all the flamboyance of the young British sophisticate. Crossley’s delivery of the lighthearted banter between nineteenth-century fashionable folk is musical; whereas, as Gray’s dissipation becomes evident, he creates spine-tingling horror.
