Oscar Wilde 
Salome 

Based on a story from the Bible, ‘Salome’ provoked such outrage that it was banned from the British stage for a number of years. However, fiercely defended by academics for its literary worth, that law was finally overturned.In this dark tale, the beautiful Salome tries to seduce the imprisoned prophet, Iokanaan. When he refuses her advances, Salome is transformed into the ultimate femme fatale. A lyrical and fascinating play that deals with the themes of love, lust, revenge, murder, and madness, ‘Salome’ is ideal for those who want to see Wilde at his most bloodthirsty.-
