Oscar Wilde: Salome, Pt. 1
Come join me in reading the one of Oscar Wilde's only tragedies, based on one of the most notorious recollections of the Bible. A story of gruesome ends for gruesome desires that shocked many of the theater goers in the late 1800's.
Salome, the daughter of Herodious, has become smitten with John the Baptist due to him rebuking her advances. This causes her to desire him and only him. ... Even unto death. ... His Death.
Come listen to the play that was the inspiration for the opera of the same name written by Richard Strauss, and one of the very first embodiment of the femme fatale... if given in a different context.

*This Season's Album Art by Brian Fisher*
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the first celebrity trials", imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at the age of 46.
*Any views/ideas expressed in these plays are not my own, and I do not believe in the censoring of anything controversial or problematic that the playwright/poet/author has written which will impact the way in which the story is told. The integrity of these works is much more important to me than any triggering content, and therefore I would ask that you have the same maturity and mental framework to listen to these pieces of art and appreciate them in their proper historical context.*
