More unclothed men with swords and another vintage example, shamelessly swiped from Planet Fabulon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And while we’re on the subject of men, the Kangaroo Court Theatre Company has another new adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em> (Matthew Bourne’s dance version<\/a> is still touring) opening this week at the Tabard Theatre<\/a>, London.<\/p>\n

A daring musical adaptation transports Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece into our own celebrity-obsessed, gossip-driven times – complete with shallow pop stars, sex-crazed artists and sleazy journalists. Co-produced with Kangaroo Court Theatre Company, this new adaptation of Dorian Gray updates the story incorporating new technology and an original musical score.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
