Sara Snook’s 26 characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Sara Snook is a one actress show on Broadway as she plays 26 characters in “The Picture of Dorian Gray“.

I’m linking up with Wordless Wednesday because this post has no worded story, but many drawings.

I’ll like to hook up this post with Elephant’s Child ‘s blogging prompt named Sunday Selections.

Here are Ms Snook’s 26 characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray, the only novel written by Oscar Wilde.

They are numbered in random order. They are all played by Ms Snook using wigs, makeup, and costumes. They are hand drawn sketches.

The main characters in the story are:

1. Dorian Gray
2. Basil Hallward
3. Lord Henry Wotton
4. Sibyl Vane
5. James Vane, Sibyl’s brother
6. Alan Campbell
7. Lord Fermor
8. Adrian Singleton
9. Victoria/ Lady Henry Wotton (wife of number 3 on the list).
10. Professor Dominic Manganiello.
