Salome

In an intense and controversially relevant portrayal, Kronos productions exposes the victimisation of women in a gripping and violent version of Oscar Wilde’s infamous, once-banned tragedy, pivoting round madness, sexuality and power struggles in the Middle East. Performed in Lord Alfred Douglas’ original English translation, the play follows the biblical character Salome, the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, and her descent into a madness from which she takes desperate measures to escape, culminating in a gruesome and fatal request.
