By Oscar Wilde
At once horrible and sublime, Oscar Wilde's one-act tragedy Salomé is a visionary take on the biblical myth of Salomé, princess of Judea. Capturing the violence of the male and female gaze on the body, this symbolist poem depicts Salomé's lust for the prophet Jokannaan and her transcendence and transgression into blasphemy. A subversive portrait of female desire through the radical pursuit of art.
Translation from the French by Lord Alfred Douglas (1894)

All Edinburgh Theatre

Broadway World
" Comes as a shock and, increasingly, as an ecstasy. "
