SALOME; SCENE

Sommario/riassunto

Salome is an 1891 play by Oscar Wilde about a princess whose passions are legendary. The actual story is from the book of Matthew, about the stepdaughter of Herod. Salome dances the Dance of the Seven Veils for Herod's birthday feast, and he enjoys it so much that he offers to give her whatever she desires.

It was originally banned in England for its focus on sexual pass
