Description
A powerful and savage play that has left audiences limp but excited. Marat/Sade is a dramatised exploration of the paradox of Sade, a black saint whose humanity must be set against the horrors of his imagination. This English version by Geoffrey Skelton and Adrian Mitchell was used in a brilliant production for the Royal Shakespeare Company, which established Antonin Artuad's conception of 'Theatre of Cruelty'. The play combines sheer entertainment with Sadean philosophy, using a range of theatrical shock techniques to heighten the emotional impact.
