Simulcasts of the National Theatre Live continue with “Salomé,” on Sunday, September 10, at 4 p.m.,  at the Latchis Theatre, 50 Main St., Brattleboro.

The story has been told before, but never like this, Director Yael Farber’s urgent, hypnotic production brings this biblical time to new life in a charged retelling.

From her prison beneath the walls of her city, Nameless recounts what led her to call for the beheading of Iokanaan (John the Baptist) in her youth.  Her story shows how Rome’s suppression of the people and religion of Judea acted as a catalyst in her transformation from subjugated young girl to the woman who came to be known as Salomé.

The visually compelling production and beautiful singing throughout, give all fans a true delight. Singers Yasmin Levy and Lubana Al Quntar are integrated into the play, with the “staging” often looking like a “live painting.” The movement and choreography are also a key feature of the production with a truly international cast of actors from all over the world.

The Sunday Times called it “a beautiful, mesmerising production. A bold new interpretation.” “Farber proves that she does riveting ritual intensity better than anybody else,” wrote the Independent.

Running time is 2 hours, 5 minutes with no interval.

Tickets are $20 for general admission, $10 for students. Contact Sharry Manning for questions and advance credit card purchases at sjmpr@comcast.net or 802-257-5717.
