At the court of Herod Antipas, the young princess becomes fascinated by the imprisoned prophet Jokanaan, or John the Baptist, whose rejection of her desire turns fascination into obsession. After performing her famous dance for Herod, Salomé is offered any reward she wishes and demands the prophet's head. Written in richly symbolic and poetic language, the play explores desire, beauty, obsession, power and death, creating one of Wilde's darkest and most atmospheric works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216366092627,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421095117139,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/salome-1957-folio-society-113","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
