Marat/Sade.
The Marquis de Sade is locked in the Charenton mental hospital and decides to put on a play. His overseers agree as long as he follows certain conditions. He writes and directs the other mental patients in a play based on the life of the Jean-Paul Marat. As the play progresses, the inmates become more and more possessed by the violence of the play and become extremely difficult to control. Finally, all chaos breaks loose.
Brilliant. Love this. I remember taking a girl on our first date to see this at the Nuart here in Los Angeles. It was an excellent choice for us. The night went well.
Marat/Sade, film version directed by Peter Brook, based on the play.
