Salome
Oscar Wilde

Salome, stepdaughter of King Herod, agrees to perform the mysterious and erotic Dance of the Seven Veils – but demands in return the head of the King's most infamous prisoner, Iokanaan (John the Baptist).

The play was finally seen in London in 1906, but has yet to gain the massive popularity of his comedies.
