Oscar Wilde's Salome is among
the author's lesser performed works. This "biblical tale of
lust and revenge" deals with King Herod's lust for Salome, his
wife's daughter, and Salome's love for John the Baptist. This is a
staged reading, not a costumed drama
Notes According to the Internet
Broadway Database, Wilde's Salome appears to have been
first staged in New York in 1917 by the Washington Square Players at
the Comedy Theater. There was also a short run at the Klaw Theater
in 1922 and the somewhat official eight-performance Broadway debut
at the Frazee Theater in 1923. The play had a one-month revival at
the Circle in the Square
Theater in 1992 with Al Pacino, then as now, in the role of King
Herod
