More about the book
The play explores themes of sexuality and religious tension through the character of Salome, inspired by symbolist poetry and her portrayal in art. Written in French by Oscar Wilde during his time in Paris, it features a provocative climax where Salome embraces the decapitated head of John the Baptist, which led to censorship and delayed public performance in England until 1931.
