Salom\u00E9, the haunting one-act tragedy that marks Wilde\u2019s first great success in the theatre, retells the Biblical story in which the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas demands the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter as a reward for her dancing for her stepfather\u2019s amusement. Written in 1891, and prepared for its first run in 1892, rehearsals of Salom\u00E9 had to be cancelled when the play was banned by the Lord Chamberlain due to its depiction of religious characters.Undaunted, Wilde moved on to the drawing-room and society comedies he is today best known for, wowing London audiences with Lady Windermere\u2019s Fan and A Woman of No Importance, and it was only in 1894 that Salom\u00E9 saw the light of day in an English translation, with a series of specially commissioned illustrations by\n\nSalom\u00E9\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price;
