Salome (French: Salomé, pronounced: [salome]) is a tragedy by Oscar Wilde. 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 Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the dance of the seven veils.

The original text

The original 1891 version of the play was in French. Three years later an English translation was published.

Translations and adaptations
