Salome: Dramo En Unu Akto by Oscar Wilde

"Salome: Dramo En Unu Akto" by Oscar Wilde is a one-act tragedy first published in French in 1893. The play dramatizes Princess Salome's dangerous obsession with the imprisoned prophet Jokanaan (John the Baptist), culminating in her infamous dance of the seven veils. Set in Herod Antipas's palace, this biblical drama explores forbidden desire and fatal consequences. Banned in Britain for decades due to its depiction of biblical characters, the play achieved international recognition through Richard Strauss's 1905 opera adaptation.
