Marat/Sade
Peter Weiss
April & May 1992
UMBC Theatre, Baltimore, Maryland
"New Yorkers are not aware that the most exciting, most significant
theater in America is often created by regional companies and on
university campuses. Such is the case with the recent production of Peter
Weiss's 1964 play, 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. Revived this May by the Maryland Stage
Company, the professional theater troupe in residence at UMBC (the University of Maryland Baltimore
County), the play was one of the stellar events of the 1991-92
season....If I had to name the most memorable productions of the year, I
would choose three: Giorgio Strehler's Faust I and II at Milan's
Teatro Studio, Jorge Lavelli's Comedias Barbaras of Valle-Inclan at
the Paris Théâtre de la Colline, and Xerxes Mehta's Marat/Sade."
