Talk:Salome (play)

message: According to the Penguin edition of Salome, the first London premiere was actually in 1905. I have added one sentence complete with the relevant citation to reflect this fact.

thread_title: Variations and Premieres

message: Something smells : From reading various short pieces on Oscar Wilde (in French, nothing I remember precisely enough to quote), I had come to the understanding that Salomé had been originally written in French (as attested to by it being mentioned that it was Lord Alfred Douglas who translated it in English. Now, why would wilde have done this? : until his trial and imprisonment, he was the darling of good society throughout the united kingdom, so his natural audience would have been british, and not everybody would have been as fluent in French as he was, not to mention the trouble of finding players able to act in French. So my source stated, which I found perfectly logical, that the play was written after he was released and emigrated to Paris, likely late in 1897. 
This story of the play having been written in French (why?) and even rehearsed in 1891, but the première forbidden, only to be translated, and published as a literary work 3 years later does not add up. Neither does a Paris production in 1896 add up : at the time, producing a new play without collaboration from the author ould have been nearly unthinkable, as it constituted an artistic and social faux pas, and wilde was in jail at the time. 
would anybody have additional data or sources to either confirm or infirm this version? --Svartalf 01:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Timing and language of the play

message: I have just created . I am unsure if Salome (1953 film), Salomé (1918 film), Salomé (2002 film) and/or Salomé (telenovela) belong in the template. I will be adding the new template later tonight. I am still trying to figure out if I have everything.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  14:25, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article has been tagged for clean-up for some time. Would any interested editor have any objection to my giving the article the once-over, removing uncited material and standardising the referencing? Tim riley talk 18:12, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Now done. The editor who tagged the article noted "reads like a high-school essay", which is shrewd: the sections in question were added on 24 March 2014 by three editors who had not edited Wikipedia before and have not edited since – classic school assignment stuff. But as the material is relevant and decently cited I have moved it to a spin-off article where those who wish to can still see it without it clogging up the main article which now deals with the history, plot and reception of the play. Further improvements most welcome, naturally. Tim riley talk 08:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Much improved.  I've re-assessed at B-class. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
