Hope you like your theatre dark and troubled!
Peter Weiss’ The Persecution And Assassination Of Jean-Paul Marat By The Inmates Of The Asylum Of Charenton Under The Direction Of The Marquis De Sade ( or Marquis/Sade if you don’t fancy dropping that lengthy title into casual conversation) is one of the most groundbreaking and influential pieces of theatre to debut in modern times.
Now, the astoundingly disturbing work is heading to the New Theatre in a brand new production. The new take on the difficult piece will be helmed by Barry French, a man more than capable of mounting such a dark production, and the cast will include the likes of Tom Aldous, Kaiya Bartholomew and Andrea Blight.
The play opens on Tuesday October 4 and runs through till Saturday November 5. For more information, head to their website, here.
