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
By Peter Weiss

Marat/SadeA production well over a year in the making, the RBP is elated to present Peter Weiss's all-encompassing exploration of revolution, class, morality, and the human condition. The year is 1808. France's Charenton Asylum presents a recreation of the calculated and cold-blooded murder of the revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat by the pious and gentle Charlotte Corday, performed by Charenton's very own inmates and written by the infamous Marquis de Sade. Weiss's complex and bombastic play is a dangerous but intellectual call to arms and a plea for equality. Presented by a cast of thirty in the intimate RBP Rorschach, Marat/Sade is like nothing the RBP has ever attempted.
