About this title

Synopsis

An Audio version of Oscar Wilde's famous play; originally produced by the CBC.

From the Inside Flap

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.
