Sein neues Theaterstück, das sich eng an historische Fakten hält, auf authentisches Material sich gründet und doch von einem historischen Stück so weit wie nur irgend möglich entfernt ist. Leben und Tod Jean Paul Marats werden als Spiel im Spiel, als Theater im Theater, dreizehn Jahre nach seinem Tode im Irrenhaus von Charenton dargestellt. Regie führt der Marquis de Sade. “We're all free and equal to die like dogs” Every death even the cruelest death drowns in the total indifference of Nature Nature herself would watch unmoved if we destroyed the entire human race I hate Nature this passionless spectator this unbreakable iceberg-face that can bear everything this goads us to greater and greater acts Once and for all the idea of glorious victories won by the glorious army must be wiped out Neither side is glorious On either side they're just frightened men messing their pants and they all want the same thing Not to lie under the earth but to walk upon it without crutches. no reviews | add a review

There was a professor on campus who had seen 13 productions of this play, including the original German production and the legendary English-language production by Peter Brook.
He said ours was one of the best he'd seen - easily in his Top 3. I can't honestly provide any kind of objective critique of this play - it has too many wonderful memories for me! ( )
