Marat / Sade by Peter Weiss, 1965
Marat/Sade by WEISS, Peter, published by Simon & Schuster, 1965. Good condition. Includes inserts on the production. Slight wear on dust jacket. In its Broadway debut, the play was described by Robert Brustein, as “one of the most spectacular stage events of recent times…a daring invasion of hitherto forbidden dramatic territory…” The play is a play within a play, set in a historical French asylum in 1808, where the Marquis de Sade directs a play about the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, during the French Revolution. The inmates in the asylum are the actors. Crisp, tight example of Theatre of Cruelty.
