Sinopsis: At a mental asylum in suburban Paris, the Marquis de Sade leads his fellow patients in a re-enactment of the murder of Jacobin luminary Jean-Paul Marat. Unfolding in long, almost seamless takes, this adaptation of Peter Weiss's play is an intellectual rollercoaster performed with manic intensity by the Royal Shakespeare Company and featuring an astonishing debut by Glenda Jackson.
