    Salomé

    Play Description

    Inspired by symbolist poetry and the frequent appearance of Salomé in contemporary art and literature, Oscar Wilde wrote SALOMÉ in French during a Paris stay in 1891–92. The play's sexuality and religious needling — not to mention the final scene in which Salome embraces the decapitated head of a saint — drew censors' ire. No public presentation was given in England until 1931.

    • Oscar Wilde

      Oscar Wilde (October 1854 – November 1900) was a flamboyant and sparklingly witty Anglo-Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and critic. He published his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1890 and then won fame and fortune with three hugely successful society plays, LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN (1892), AN IDEAL HUSBAND (1895) and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (1895). In late 1891 Wilde wrote SALOMÉ, which was banned from performance in England by the lord chamberlain. It was first produced in February 1896 in Paris.

    Play Description

    This play depicts the dramatic final year of the Woodrow Wilson White House when, on her husband’s urging, his new second wife, Edith (sometimes criticized as being “America’s First Female President”) hides the gravity of his illness from his Cabinet and the entire country, hoping to keep him in office long enough to achieve his goal: US entry into the League of Nations — in his view the only possible guarantor of future world peace. A pivotal moment in the play is the Woodrow Wilson/Henry Cabot Lodge confrontation over isolationism vs. internationalism — a topic as fraught with conflict then as it is today.

    The Strangest
    Betty Shamieh
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    Midway through Albert Camus's The Stranger, an Arab is killed. Leaping from this moment and working backwards through possible histories of tangled romance, ethnic conflict, and random violence, Betty Shamieh has crafted a play inspired by this unnamed character. Infused with elements of Middle Eastern oral storytelling traditions and set in French Algiers on the brink of revolution, THE STRANGEST is an absurdist murder mystery about three Algerian brothers who vie for the love of the same woman. Their bitter rivalry ends with one brother being inexplicably gunned down by a French stranger.
