Summary

Salome retells the Biblical story in which the stepdaughter of Herod demands the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her dancing for her stepfather's amusement. Written in 1891, rehearsals of Salome had to be cancelled when the play was banned by the Lord Chamberlain due to its depiction of religious characters.
