Förlagets beskrivning
In the mid-1960s, "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as
Perfomed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Chernton under the Direction of the
Marquis de Sade" was made into a film by British directory Peter Brook. The
weaving of space, time, plot, real and imagined characters, sexual liberation,
and surrealist imagery made "Marat/Sade" a sensation. Little did audiences realize that this "counterculture" play was actually
written by a German Jew. The then practically unknown Peter Weiss (1916-82) was
also at work on a play about Auschwitz - "The Investigation" - which is one of
the most significant literary treatments of the subject. Both plays, plus "The
Shadow of the Coachman's Body" are included in this volume. This volume includes the plays "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", "The Investigation" and "The Shadow of
the Coachman's Body". An introduction details Weiss's unusual life and
work.
