...MARQUIS DE SADE (Caedmon) is a powerful distillation in sound of the most sustained assault on the senses that Broadway theatergoers have experienced in years. While the mind's eye must do some of the listener's work, the sensation of being imprisoned in a limbo of mad souls is fearsomely convincing. Patrick Magee as Sade, Glenda Jackson as Charlotte Corday, Ian Richardson as Marat, and the disciplined ensemble players of the Royal Shakespeare Company are, in this recording, precisely what they have been onstage-perfect...
...Southeast Asia"?though he is far more retiring and ascetic than Makarios. One of his Buddhist rivals insists that he is an anarchist. The Catholics are certain that he is a Communist. He has been variously described as a demagogue, a saint, a puppetmaster, a seer and "the mad monk...
...addressed as Mr. Bones by a cat who might himself be Mr. Bones, but isn't. Moreover, there are no quote-marks and no stage directions, and there is no clear distinction made between the two voices by the language itself.

He brain-shrinks Superman (a difficult feat) with the suggestion that being rocketed out from the exploding...
...dressy wedding reception in a monkey suit of real fur, beating his chest and uttering wild animal cries. Then-Well, at moments, Morgan! goes so far ape that a viewer may wince a little, but Director Karel Reisz (Saturday Night and Sunday Morning) quells resistance by assigning the mad-capital antics to two gifted young British actors, David Warner (London's hottest new Hamlet) and Vanessa Redgrave (daughter of Sir Michael). Playing their first important film roles, both manage to make a pair of tricky characters seem hilarious and poignant...
