Oscar Wilde tragedy (6)
I believe the answer is:
salome
'oscar wilde tragedy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for salome that I've seen before include "Her dancing pleased Herod" , "Her dancing got her the head of John the Baptist" , "Asked for the head of John the Baptist" , "She danced with seven veils for the Baptist's head" , "Herod's niece in Wilde play" .)
