Love, seduction, decadence and murder. Requiem Media Productions presents: Dorian's Descent (a new musical inspired by Oscar Wilde's legendary novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"). Book by Marco Gomez, Chris Raymond and Michael Gray Lyrics by Marco Gomez and Chris Raymond Music and Orchestrations by Chris Raymond Plot: The musical begins with master artist, Basil Hallward painting a portrait of a very handsome young man named, Dorian Gray. Eventually, through Basil, Dorian meets the hedonistic executive, Henry Wotton. Henry teaches Dorian all about his dark life views and the power of beauty. Dorian, who becomes concerned about losing his good looks decides to sell his soul in order to remain forever young while the portrait of him ages instead. Soon after that, he finds himself spiraling down a path of heartrending love affairs, seduction, decadence and even murder. Below are quotes from an interview with the Dorian's Descent co-creators: "It's a wild, magical and mysterious story, and the themes are so relevant in today's image-obsessed culture," says Chris Raymond. "The score draws on many influences, including classic Broadway, opera and modern dance music. The large cast provides multi-layered vocal harmonies throughout the show." Marco Gomez says, "Our primary focus was the internal nature of Dorian's conflict in the novel, which we needed to open up and dramatize. We created a character, 'The Demon,' that helps make sense of Dorian's personality change." Dorian's Descent had its critically acclaimed world premiere in 2014 at The MET Theatre (Hollywood).
