Salome Oscar Wilde

Notes

1. ^ Wilde had written one earlier play, Vera, Or The Nihilists, which had not been staged.[2]
2. ^ The opportunity did not arise, and Bernhardt, who was by this time over 50, never played Salome.[7]
3. ^ The company later had its own theatre, the Théâtre de l'Œuvre (rue de Clichy),[13] but in 1896 it was based at the Comédie-Parisienne (rue Boudreau) and the Nouveau-Théâtre (rue Blanche).[14]
4. ^ a b In both the French and English texts Salome addresses the Syrian as "Narraboth", but he is not named in the dramatis personae.[21]
5. ^ In Lady Windermere's Fan, adapted into French as La Passante ("The Passer-by") Munte played Mrs Erlynne, rechristened "Madame Vernon" in this version, and Daumerie was Lord Windermere.[15]
6. ^ Wilde commented to Charles Ricketts, "Dear Aubrey is almost too Parisian: he cannot forget that he has been to Dieppe – once".[17] Still, Wilde liked the illustrations more than did The Times, which observed, "They are fantastic, grotesque, unintelligible for the most part, and, so far as they are intelligible, repulsive … a joke, and it seems to us a very poor joke".[18]
7. ^ The other languages were Czech (1905), German (1903), Greek (1907), Hungarian (1908), Italian (1906), Polish (1904), Russian (1904), Spanish (1908) and Swedish (1895).[20]
8. ^ In the original, Wilde instructs "Salomé danse la danse des sept voiles".[25] The title of the dance is his own invention.[26]
