Sinopse

Unveil the Dark Secrets Behind Eternal Youth with Dorian Gray!
Dive into the haunting and provocative world of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the only novel written by the literary icon Oscar Wilde. This masterpiece explores the depths of vanity, moral corruption, and the consequences of a life devoted to pleasure and superficial beauty. When Dorian Gray, a young and handsome man, makes a Faustian bargain to remain forever youthful while a portrait of him ages instead, he embarks on a journey that leads to his ultimate downfall.
Wilde's brilliant prose brings to life a tale that is as relevant today as it was over a century ago. The novel is a fascinating exploration of the duality of human nature, the dangers of unchecked desire, and the societal obsession with youth and beauty. As Dorian descends deeper into a life of hedonism and vice, the portrait becomes a chilling reflection of his corrupted soul, serving as a powerful reminder that no one can escape the consequences of their actions.
Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is universally acclaimed as a classic of English literature. It has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other media, solidifying its place in the cultural zeitgeist.
"One of the most memorable and intriguing books I have ever read. Wilde's writing is simply exquisite." - Goodreads Reviewer
"An essential read for anyone interested in literature, philosophy, or the human condition. Wilde's wit and insight are unparalleled." - The Literary Times

    'It is really small. Whatever it is.
    But it's here.
    It's definitely here.'
    A teenage girl has something growing inside her. She doesn't know what it is, but she knows it's not a baby. It expands. It has claws. Eventually it takes over the entirety of her body.
    No one must know about it. She has to keep its presence, its possession of her, concealed. She pulls away from her friends. She refuses to speak, in case 'The IT' is heard. But she can't contain it forever. Sooner or later something's got to give...
    Presented in the style of a direct-address documentary, Vivienne Franzmann's The IT is a darkly comic state-of-the-nation play exploring adolescent mental health and the rage within.
    Written specifically for young people, the play formed part of the 2021 National Theatre Connections Festivals and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK. It was named Best Play for Young Audiences at the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards 2023.
    The IT offers opportunities for a large, flexible cast of any size and mix of genders.

    Disorderly Magic and Other Disturbances is a pop meditation on a number of themes: speed, delirium and distance, disillusion, urbanity, various manifestations of the idea of the wilderness and the wasteland, madness, dissolution, memory, mourning, forgetting, hauntology, hauntings, rapid transits, the non-existent, and conjuring the future. The work mixes magic, culture, mystery, memoir, history, melodrama - it is an invocation, an evocation, with dreamlike freedom of movement between past and present, from personal to universal.

    Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in. In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside.
