Marat-Sade

[Pope Jeremy]

I just saw the show, Marat-Sade, at the PPU theatre in
Oakland. I thought it was good, and that it might be
of interest to some of you. Marat-Sade is one of my
favorite shows, and this particular production was
well played.

Here's some info about it from the show's webpage
(http://www.ppc.edu/playhouse/maratsade.shtml)

Marat-Sade runs at the Pittsburgh Playhouse February
18-29, 2004. Performances of are Wednesdays through
Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets to Marat-Sade are $14 and $12, and are
available by phoning the Playhouse box office at
412.621.4445.

Directed for the Playhouse by John Shepard, Marat-Sade
is best explained by the full title: “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.”

Premiered in 1964 at the Schiller Theater in Berlin,
Marat-Sade was immediately recognized by critics as
one of the most important works of the modern theatre
and established an international reputation for German
playwright Peter Weiss. Marat-Sade went on to win both
a Tony Award and a New York Critics Award in the
category of “Best Play.”

More information about Marat-Sade, the Pittsburgh
Playhouse Conservatory Company and The Pittsburgh
Playhouse of Point Park University is available by
phoning 412.621.4445.
