What the actual hell was that?! So bloody confusing. One minute Herod says it’s the happiest night of his life, the next he says it’s his saddest. So much death that just really seemed unnecessary. I do not understand the plot of this play. However, Wilde is as always a very witty writer even when he writes in French (and it’s translated).

"Por que não olhaste para mim, Iocanaan? Tu me amarias, se olhasses para mim. Bem sei que terias me amado; o mistério do amor é maior que o mistério da morte. Só o amor deve ser meditado." I support women’s rights but also I support women’s wrongs

Non ho la possibilità di fare molte cose culturali dove vivo ora, e forse una delle cose che più mi manca del vivere a Verona è l’andare a teatro o a vedere l’opera. E’ un’esperienza che cambia completamente il modo in cui il testo viene letto, ovviamente, soprattutto quando l’espressività del cast e le decisioni della direzione teatrale manipolano il brano di matrice. 
Leggere il testo di Salomé mi ha lasciata con un pugno di mosche in mano e un senso di amarezza per non averlo potuto vedere dal vivo in nessuna della sue forme. Il rating quindi non riflette altro che queste sensazioni. Spero di poter vedere la pièce esibita un giorno, e di cambiare parere sulla piattezza che mi ha ispirato nella lettura.

Un avis mitigé sur cette pièce
J'aime toujours autant la plume d'oscar wilde, la verve dont il a doté ses personnages, l'ambiance créée. Mais l'histoire en elle même m'a laissée de glace.
