Britain's What's On Event Guide
Salome at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
Maxim Didenko, one of Europe’s leading directors will bring a new production of Oscar Wilde’s
Salome to the West End this autumn, a co-production with Theatre Royal Haymarket and
Gesher Theatre.
Written by Wilde in 1891, this lyrical one-act play, banned in Britain at the time, tells the biblical
tale of Salomé, the stepdaughter of the lecherous ruler Herod Antipas, and her infatuation with
John the Baptist. When her advances towards the prophet are spurned, Salomé unleashes a
deadly dance that will echo through the ages.
