Got a craving for some theatre... look no further!

We’re thrilled to be a partner venue for the new digital production of The Picture of Dorian Gray co-produced by The Barn Theatre, Lawrence Batley Theatre, New Wolsey Theatre, Oxford Playhouse and Theatr Clwyd.

The full cast includes Fionn Whitehead, as Dorian Gray, Alfred Enoch as Harry Wooton, Joanna Lumley as Lady Narborough, Watermill Ensemble member Emma McDonald as Sibyl Vane and Russell Tovey as Basil Hallward with Stephen Fry as the Interviewer.

In this brand-new adaptation, Oscar Wilde’s Faustian tale is brought into a world of Instagram, Facebook and dating apps. In a profile pic-obsessed, filter-fixated world where online and reality blur, influencer Dorian Gray makes a deal. For his social star never to fade. For the perfect self he broadcasts to the world to always remain. But as his mental health starts to decline, as corruption and murderous depravity start to creep into his world, the true and horrific cost of his deal will soon need to be met.

With many teams working remotely and added pressure on individuals and companies, we have developed two carefully tailored online programmes to offer support: Virtual Business Training and Time Out for Teams

At The Watermill we create safe and nurturing rehearsal rooms where artists can work collaboratively, make bold choices and take greater risks. Our working environment continues to make the theatre a leading force in developing the theatre-makers of tomorrow. We have translated this ethos into our Virtual Business Training, with sessions covering presentation skills, collaborative working, managing multiple responsibilities and much more. Delivered by leading industry professionals, our Time out for Teams programme offers carefully crafted workshops on different aspects of theatre to provide teams from all industries with a space to connect, de-stress and focus on personal wellbeing.
