Oscar Wilde’s classic tragedy based on the Biblical story of the beheading of John the Baptist. Much has been made of the supposed immorality of the play. When the script was published in 1893, The Times newspaper described it thusly: “an arrangement in blood and ferocity, morbid, bizarre, repulsive, and very offensive…”
…And now the Rude Mechanicals are presenting Salome as a tribute to 1990s media and culture, with a plethora of edits and changes to the Lord Alfred Douglas translation in the service of that end. Also? It’s now a comedy. In short: it’s Oscar Wilde’s Salome as only the Rude Mechanicals would stage it. Cue laugh track.
*This show contains comedic violence, suicide, and murder*
Tickets: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
