    <![CDATA[Originally published in French, 'Salomé' is Oscar Wilde's 1896 dramatization of the biblical story of Salome, the step-daughter of Herod who danced before Herod and in so doing wins the granting of any wish that Herod may be able to fulfill. Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist. Fans of Wilde will delight in the dramatization of this biblical story.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[You know, the most worthwhile rendition of Salome is the insane  Ken Russell film. What does she say? God it stuck in my mind for YEARS and probably screwed up my character to no little degree. 'Give me the head of John the Baptist' ah yes. With this little feminine clipped manner of speech.

The themes and visuals were certainly compelling, but the lack of humanity prevented any true concern for the story's progression. Salome deals heavily with the theme of desire and lust and the downfall of those that are controlle...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68115087">more...</a>]]></body>

It doesn't contain the witty conversation of other Wilde plays and doesn't read quite as smoothly.
