THEATER

On Broadway

THE PERSECUTION AND ASSASSINATION OF MARAT AS PERFORMED BY THE INMATES OF THE ASYLUM OF CHARENTON UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MARQUIS DE SADE. Each theater seat becomes an electric chair as Director Peter Brook and the Royal Shakespeare Company sear the senses with a high-voltage production of Peter Weiss's shocking, stunning play.

INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE. Bill Maitland is a modern antihero, muddled by progress, maddened by the machine, and mangled by his acute awareness that he is irredeemably mediocre. With astounding authority, 28-year-old Actor Nicol Williamson draws all the caustic humor and curdling vituperation from John Osborne's words.
