- More about Salome
Wilde's first great success in the theatre, Salomé, was banned by the Lord Chamberlain in 1891 due to its depiction of religious characters. However, he moved on to the drawing-room and society comedies he is today best known for, and it was only in 1894 that it saw the light of day in an English translation.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 96 pages

Salomé, the captivating one-act tragedy that heralded Wilde's initial triumph on the theatrical stage, vividly retells the Biblical tale wherein the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas demands the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter as a reward for her mesmerizing dance for her stepfather's entertainment. Crafted in 1891 and meticulously prepared for its inaugural performance in 1892, rehearsals of Salomé were abruptly halted when the play was prohibited by the Lord Chamberlain owing to its portrayal of religious figures. Undeterred, Wilde redirected his attention to the drawing-room and society comedies that have since cemented his reputation as one of the most celebrated playwrights of the Victorian era. In 1894, Salomé finally emerged in an English translation, adorned with a series of specially commissioned illustrations by the rising star Aubrey Beardsley.
