Description
Wilde condenses biblical depravity into a single fevered act, where Salomé's desire for John the Baptist becomes a philosophical and erotic descent into madness that challenged Edwardian morality. Written in French and banned from the English stage, this play remains a scandalous provocation that influenced generations of artists.
