University of Virginia Library

By Jay Steer

"Marat/Sade" is a mess.

I did not see the play, nor have I read
anything about it. I went in with a clean
slate, and vomited on my popcorn.

I was insulted three times: first by the
incomprehensible twenty-six word title,
then by the obscenity of the inmates, and
finally by the cut at student revolutionaries
at the end.
