The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade is one of the most celebrated plays of the 20th century. The show’s shattering impact virtually defies objective description. Presented with its brilliant text fully restored (a rarity since all available published texts contain serious omissions), this compelling drama is performed with a full musical score and complete instrumentation in what promises to be a definitive restaging.
