Oscar Wilde’s classic tragedy based on the Biblical story of the beheading of John the Baptist.

…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. We guarantee you’ll chuckle at least once.
