The Brightest Light On Broadway: Kip Williams

After a smashing success in London, Australian director Kip Williams brings his much-heralded cine-theatrical adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray to Broadway. Williams has always used video in his storytelling, and in this production, Sarah Snook (Succession), with whom he crossed paths in drama school, plays all the roles—26 in total—from the famous Oscar Wilde novel from 1890. Williams purposely plays with gender, sexuality and identity, “the way in which people reveal themselves and conceal themselves through acts of performance and the multiple selves that exist within one individual.” Right now, Williams’ self is excited to be making his professional debut in New York. “It’s incredibly humbling and hugely exciting,” he says. “I’m looking out at the streets right now pinching myself.”
