Salome
genre: theater playwright: Oscar Wild
other title: 莎乐美 director: Owen Horsley actor: Matthew Tennyson / Matthew Pidgeon / Suzanne Burden / Gavin Fowler / Ilan Evans
This new production of Oscar Wilde’s lyrical one-act drama revels in the beauty of this poetic masterpiece.

Imprisoned by a fearful Herod, the prophet Jokanaan rejects the sexual advances of Herod’s stepdaughter, Salomé. When she is compelled by Herod to dance, Salomé is filled with lust-driven revenge and demands the head of the prophet as payment.

Salomé has fascinated and inspired artists across the ages. Oscar Wilde’s lyrical one-act drama – originally banned in Britain – reinvents Salomé as a powerful and enigmatic figure, both erotic and chaste.

Marking 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales, Owen Horsley (Associate Director on the King & Country season) directs this new, contemporary take on Oscar Wilde’s classic, placing sexual ambiguity at the core. American artist Perfume Genius provides the music for this production, which revels in the beauty of this poetic masterpiece.

Features nudity and scenes of a sexual nature.
