Wilde's tradegy that tells the Biblical story of Salomé in one act. Full-cast dramatization featuring Lester Fletcher, Jack Evans, Forrest Williams and Bettye Ackerman.

Oscar Wilde's Salome was originally published in French in 1891 and translated into English by Lord Alfred Douglas. This one-act play, a sinister tale of a woman scorned and her vengeance, has become a landmark of Decadent literature. The play tells the biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the dance of the seven veils.

Les contes, les métaphores sont de véritables outils de maturation. En stimulant notre imaginaire, ils nous conduisent directement à l'inconscient, sans intermédiaire, sans écran, en cela ils remplissent une fonction essentielle, celle de nous relier aux forces vives de notre créativité. À partir de là, Jacques Salomé n'a pas hésité à soigner certaines souffrances du corps et de l'âme en racontant des contes, des métaphores, des histoires poétiques et ludiques.

Includes a conversation with director Michael Hackett and Wilde scholar David Rodes. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast production.

Rire et pleurer traduisent des émotions fortes. Les émotions, nous le savons, sont le langage privilégié du retentissement, de tout ce qui résonne, fait écho, retentit en nous à l'occasion d'un échange, d'un partage, d'une prise de conscience. Rire et pleurer, c'est sauter à la corde avec son âme, c'est rebondir sur l'étonnement d'être, d'exister, de se sentir porteur d'une parcelle de vie unique. Les contes existent depuis les débuts de l'humanité, il convenait de les réactualiser, de les inscrire dans notre existence au quotidien.
