Salome

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 Matthew Wolf as Page of Herodias and others (DIGITAL ONLY: Director Michael Hackett and Wilde scholar Dr. David Rodes discuss Saloms history and where it fits stylistically in Wildes canon.) Music by Djivan Gasparyan and Lian Ensemble. Directed by Michael Hackett. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience.
