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 Salom in French, and the play was so controversial that no theatre in England would produce it for nearly four decades.
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 Salom, John Vickery as Herod, and Matthew Wolf as Page of Herodias and others.
(DIGITAL ONLY: Director Michael Hackett and Wilde scholar Dr. David Rodes discuss Salom 's history and where it fits stylistically in Wilde's canon.)
Music by Djivan Gasparyan and Lian Ensemble. Directed by Michael Hackett. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience.
OSCAR WILDE (1856-1900), novelist, essayist, poet and wit, as well as playwright, wrote all four of the plays for which he is famous in three short years in his late thirties: 1892-5. The last of them, The Importance of Being Earnest, one of the best comedies in the English language, opened as he was beginning the libel suit against the Marquess of Queensberry that led Wilde to a prison sentence and death in exile in Paris five years later.
