The Picture of Dorian Gray is a timeless audio drama, based on the 1891 novel by Oscar Wilde. George Lowther, takes the story which spans eighteen years, and condenses it into a tight, fifty-minute episode for this 1974 episode of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. You will hear strong performances from voice actors Nick Pryor as Dorian Gray, Norman Rose as Basil, and Roger DeKoven as the decadent Sir Henry.

Oscar Fingal O’Fflahertie Wills Wilde first published The Picture of Dorian Gray as a magazine series in 1890, and then as a novel in 1891. The themes in this story of vanity and obsession with youth still ring true today.

Greg and Mary talk about what inspired Wilde to write this story, what happened to Wilde after publishing the novel, and what Mary's soul would retail for on eBay.
