Salome

Salom├® is a dark tale of hubris, lust, and self-destruction … as told by a man who famously fell prey to those same impulses in his own life. Oscar Wilde wrote his original interpretation of the biblical story of Salom├® in French, and the play was so controversial that no theater in England would produce it for nearly four decades.

This audiobook version includes a conversation with director Michael Hackett and Wilde scholar David Rodes, and is an L.A.
