Hi. I overheard a teacher talking in the hallway the other day about a British or French play that takes place in an asylum. It sounded interesting, but I didn't hear the title. I didn't get the chance to ask him because I had to run for class.

Does anyone here know the title of it? Thanks!

It is probably MARAT/SADE (

The full title is:

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

It is by Peter Weiss.
