Salomé by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's Salomé draws from biblical origins to create a haunting meditation on desire, obsession, and retribution told through richly poetic prose. Translated from Wilde's French composition, this tragic narrative centers on Salome's consuming infatuation with the imprisoned Jokanaan, a fixation that propels the story toward its devastating finale. The piece has endured as a cornerstone of dramatic literature, admired for its intricate symbolic layering and powerful theatrical impact. Adrian Buckle directs this production with set pieces crafted by Romualdo Moretti and costumes designed by Aleksandra Idowiak. Movement is choreographed by Chakib Zidi, with Timothy Blore taking on the title role.
