Quills, 24th to 27th July, 20:00

The Marquis, imprisoned in Charenton asylum, struggles to continue writing his erotically charged, provocative texts in early nineteenth century France. Sade’s legacy is, of course, the word ‘sadism’ but some suggest that the Marquis was a genius, exposing some of the grotesque hypocrisies screened by the ‘polite’ society of the time.
