Salome illuminated! This edition presents Salome as a formally complex, richly intertextual, and generative phenomenon of international modernism. Kimberly Stern sets a superbly annotated text between an extensive introduction and several appendices documenting the play’s literary, cultural, and visual sources, its reception, and its translation, illustration, and performance histories. The edition offers copious source materials to augment the text, some requisite and some unexpected. Stern’s adept and unprecedented selection of contextual sources enhances the powerful and recurrent fascination of a play that has continuously spawned adaptations as well as controversy. This is where all students of Salome should start.” — Heidi Hartwig, Central Connecticut State University
A dark tale of hubris, lust, and self-destruction ... as told by a man who famously fell prey to those same impulses in his own life. Oscar Wilde wrote his original interpretation of the Biblical story of Salomé in French, and the play was so controversial that no theatre in England would produce it for nearly four decades.
Includes a conversation with director Michael Hackett and Wilde scholar David Rodes.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast production starring:
Rosalind Ayres as Herodias
James Marsters as Iokanaan
Andre Sogliuzzo as The Young Syrian and others
Kate Steele as Salomé
