The protagonist of the series “Succession”, Sarah Snook, will play 26 different characters in a show that goes on next year in London. The actress will star in a new adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray” (The Picture of Dorian Gray).

It will be Snook’s first appearance on the London stage since her 2016 debut opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Master Builder. Sarah Snook told BBC News that the idea of ​​playing so many roles was “an exciting challenge, which I’m looking forward to experiencing”.

The show “The Picture of Dorian Gray” will open on 23 January 2024 at the Theater Royal Haymarket and run for almost 12 weeks.

The new stage adaptation of Wilde’s 1890 novel has already enjoyed a successful run in Snook’s native Australia, although another actress has played the lead role. Discussing the show’s move to London, the actress said: “I’m so excited at the prospect of getting back on stage again, let alone a stage in the West End».
