Theatre of NOTE continues its 2019 season with the world premiere of DRIVING WILDE by Jacqueline Wright, directed by Bart DeLorenzo.

DRIVING WILDE is Jacqueline Wright’s very free, very contemporary, shockingly frank and surreal adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s classic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wright transforms the gothic horror story into a present-day meditation on the pursuit of beauty. In Wright’s version, the beautiful young Dorian awakens from a coma with amnesia, unaware of his past and seeing the perfection of nature with fresh eyes. But how long can innocence last in a corrupting, aging world? Can beauty be kept, or is its fading as inevitable as death? A trip hop fantasy with existential themes.

The cast of DRIVING WILDE includes; Michael Kodi Farrow, Owen Ginley, Carl J. Johnson, Raven Moran, Stephen Simon, and David Wilcox.

DRIVING WILDE’s design team features the talents of scenic designer Song Yi Park; lighting designerBrandon Baruch; sound designer Martin Carillo; costume designer Ann Closs-Farley; video/projection designer Ben Rock.Props Laura Lengel; master carpenter Joe Jordan; graphic designer Michael Arcangeli; graphic production designer David Marina; associate director Lauren Campedelli. The production is stage managed by Kelly Egan, assistant stage managed by Sam Squeri.

DRIVING WILDE will preview on Friday and Saturday, August 16 and August 17 at 8pm and will open on Thursday, August 22.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm.
