Alla Nazimova as Salome, 1923

New improved version: Salome:The Seventh Queen

I have finally begun. My novella, Salome: The Seventh Queen will be serialized here. Not quite a Faery Tale, but very Gothic and very decadent. I hope you like it. It goes places you never dreamed before…

My story takes up where Oscar Wilde’s scandalous play left off. I played the role of Salome ages ago when I was dancer in The Companions of the Musavir in Seattle in the 1980′s. This story always had a strange effect on me, though I think Wilde’s glorious writing may have had a part to play. This fascination goes on in this story: What if Salome, had lived to regret her demand for the ‘head of Jokanaan”?

Richard Strauss, Salome

Enjoy Maria Kouba’a decadent Salome. She has just the right quality I think.
This is Richard Strauss’s opera televised in 1960.  Oh TV what has become of you?
