"Total theatre" is the expression critics have used to describe this unique theatrical event, based on two historical truths: the infamous Marquis de Sade was confined in the lunatic asylum of Charenton, where he staged plays; and the revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat was stabbed in a bathtub by Charlotte Corday at the height of the Terror during the French Revolution. This play-within-a-play is no mere historical drama - it is emotionally and politically relevant to today's world and is packed with action, song and dance. "One of the most amazing plays ever seen." - London Daily Mail
