Maud Allan created a famous production of this play titled for the "Vision" of its title character. It opens with a scene in which a Page and a Young Syrian discuss the nature of the moon, shortly after which a voice from a cistern prophesies the coming of Christ. This play was dedicated to Lord Alfred Douglas despite the fact that he'd botched the initial translation from the original (*) French, and it was illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley. At the climax of this play, its protagonist kisses an item she'd requested as a reward for performing the "dance of the seven veils". For 10 points, name this tragedy in which the stepdaughter of Herod demands the head of Jokanaan, or John the Baptist, on a silver platter, a play by Oscar Wilde.
