Come join me in reading the one of Oscar Wilde's only remaining 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 utterly smitten with John the Baptist due to his rebuke of 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 embodiments of the femme fatale.
