Abstract
Acclaimed British actor Steven Berkoff starred and directed this stage version of Wilde’s play for the Royal National Theatre. In 1988, he had directed an interpretation of Salome by Oscar Wilde, performed in slow motion, at the Gate Theatre, Dublin. For the UK's Royal National Theatre he revived the play with a new cast at the Lyttelton Auditorium; it opened in November 1989.
"In this play, a father is so infatuated with his step-daughter, that he promises her up to half his kingdom if she performs the libidinous "Dance of the Seven Veils" for him."--Publisher description.
Production
Produced and released in Great Britain (1995).
