''Salome'' is a one-act play by [[Oscar Wilde]]. The play was first published in Wilde's not very fluent French in 1893, and was first produced in Paris three years later; the British [[Censorship Bureau]] forbade its production due to its scandalous sexual content.
Line 13:
''Salome'' caused renewed controversy when it was adapted into an opera by Richard Strauss. The opera's libretto follows the German translation of Wilde's French word for word (though abridged in some places).

* [[Talking to
* [[You Can Leave Your Hat On]]: The Dance of the Seven Veils, though not further described in the text of the play or opera, involves Salome slowly removing her clothing, until she lies naked at Herod's feet.
