Broom Street Theater presents
HEAD ON A SILVER PLATTER: IN DEFENSE OF SALOME
A drama written and directed by Jan Levine Thal
Choreography by Heidi Hakseth
Original music by Jeremy Thal
Who was Salome? Real? Imagined? Yes. In the original, she lived in Galilee at the dawn of Christianity and caused more than one death. This production discards religious trappings and asserts that she was framed. In "Head on a Silver Platter: In Defense of Salome," Salome appears on a mystical terrain surrounded by dancers. She instigates a parallel 21st century version of her story, but in the retelling, much is distorted. The modern story focuses on a teenager, Sally, who is misled by a right-wing podcaster with dire consequences.
