The play depicts the attempted seduction of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) by Salome, step-daughter of Herod Antipas; her dance of the seven veils; the execution of Jokanaan at Salome's instigation; and her death on Herod's orders. The first production was in Paris in 1896. Because the play depicted biblical characters it was banned in Britain and was not performed publicly there until 1931.

Film and other adaptations have been made of the play. Background and first production When Wilde began writing ''Salome'' in late 1891 he was known as an author and critic, but was ...
