A supernatural revenge thriller and feminist-centric story that questions all assumptions Today, Arvind Ethan David’s Prodigal Entertainment, the producers behind Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Mother of Frankenstein, and Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill, and publishers Clover Press announce the cast and Kickstater campaign for the audio drama and graphic novel GRAY, a radical reimagining of Oscar Wilde's classic novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray."

A radical rework of the classic Oscar Wilde novel, GRAY is a supernatural revenge thriller about a beautiful, debauched and dangerous woman, Dorian Gray, and her mission of retribution.

Written by Audible Best-selling and Stoker-nominated author Arvind Ethan David (producer behind the cult hit Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and the Tony-nominated and Grammy-winning Broadway hit Jagged Little Pill), and drawn by Eugenia Koumaki, inked by Diana Greenhalgh, and colored by Joana Lafuente, GRAY touches on modern-day issues such as sexual assault and systemic racism. Prodigal Entertainment is working with RAINN (the Nation's Largest Anti-sexual Violence Organization) to provide resources to listeners and project team members around the charged issues of sexual violence that the story explores.
