...Marquis de Sade was convinced that the French Revolution was a mistake. Or at least that seems to be the explanation behind that notorious writer's decision to stage a mock murder of one of the revolution's leaders in 'The persecution and assasination of Jean-Paul Marat as performed by the inmates of the Marquis de Sade' which (if you can make it past the title) you should go to see this weekend at the Loeb Mainstage. According to director Kerry Konrad '78, this play within a play, in which neither the passion of the revolution, of the marquis...
...Marquis de Sade was convinced that the French Revolution was a mistake. Or at least that seems to be the explanation behind that notorious writer's decision to stage a mock murder of one of the revolution's leaders in "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."

Says Senior Steve Taylor, president of the Zeta Psi house at the University of California at Berkeley (a position his father held 25 years ago after being branded on the arm as a pledge): "All that stuff, tubbing, paddling...
...when Stephanie marries Paul and settles into an American country wifehood that the teasing promise of her intricate and highly individual childhood declines toward case history, and static, predictable domestic woe. Stephanie's cries rise to heaven like those of De Sade's Justine, a girl, one recollects, with far more justification for complaint. Paul, Stephanie grants, is a splendid lover, a fine husband, a kind man, a devoted father-as handsome, she reports, as Jimmy Stewart. But he doesn't want to live in the city. And he doesn't talk to Stephanie enough...
