About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Salome by Oscar Wilde, translated by Lord Alfred Douglas. The original 1891 version of the play was in French. Three years later an English translation was published. The play tells in one act the Biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of Iokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the Dance of the Seven Veils.
