\n\tMarat Sade: The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as peformed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marguis De Sade is a play-within-a play and is not historical drama. It\u2019s thought is as modern as today\u2019s police states and \u201cthe bomb\u201d; its theatrical impact has universally been called a major innovation. It is total theater; philosophically problematic, visually terrifying, it engages the eye, the ear and the mind with every imaginable dramatic device, technique and stage picture including song and dance. It asks: Are the same things true for the masses and for their leaders? And where, in modern times, lie the borders of sanity?<\/p>\n


\n\tIn 1809 at the Charenton Mental Asylum, an invited audience waits to witness a drama about the assassination of French Revolutionary Jean Paul Marat. The play, written and directed by the institution\u2019s most notorious resident, the Marguis De Sade, centers around his argument that an individual does not find meaning through politics but rather through acts of spontaneous passion and desire. <\/p>\n


\n\tPeter Weiss\u2019 play-within-a-play combines startling graphic and violent images with political discourse and upbeat songs and music. Influenced by the great German director and playwright, Bertolt Brecht, the play moves toward its shocking climax while dealing with themes of revolution, power and human frailty.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe show is directed by Alan Hawkridge, 溏心vlog免费B站 lecturer, (The Foreigner, Amadeus and The Taming of the Shrew); costumes by David T. Howard, associate professor; sets by guest artist Kathryn Kawecki; lighting design by Christian Wittwer, associate professor; sound design by guest artist Mike Hyde; musical direction by Andrew Burnap, junior theatre major.<\/p>\n
