Succession star Sarah Snook just took home an Olivier Award for Best Actress for her work in the solo show, in which she plays 26 roles from Wilde's story of a man who sells his soul for eternal youth. The stage show is adapted and directed by Kip Williams, who is working with Dirty Films partner Andrew Upton on a film treatment. No casting has been announced.
