The Daily Nebraskan Page 5 ,M Wednesday, April 10, 1968 arat-Sade like current revolutions by Joan McCullough Campus Life Editor "Turn yourself inside out and see the world through fresh eyes," cries the para noic Marat. But all that is necessary is to sit in the audience at the University Theatre production of "Marat-Sade" 'to be shock ed and awakened, watching a revolution through the eyes of lunatics. The lunatics are perform ing a play in the bath house of the asylum for a royal French audience in 1808. "The Persecution and Assassina tion o f Jean-Paul Marat as performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton un der the direction of the Mar quis de Sade" is the full title. Written by inmate The story is presented as a play-within-a-play, presumab ly written by one of -the in mates. It tells the story of the French revolution, especially the tale of Jean-Paul Marat, an arch-revolutionary who was murdered by a young woman to stop his violent op pressions of the French peo ple. "The play is about revolu tion in general and applies to current wars and riots in the streets as well as a revolu tion in a madhouse or Napo leon's campaign which was raging in the 19th Century," Dr. Stephen Cole, director of the play, said. "Marat-Sade" will be per formed May 1 through 4 and 8 through 10 at the Univer sity Theatre. Open rehearsals are from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. "Marat-Sade", classified as a musical history, was writ ten by Peter Weiss, a con temporary German playwright 1-7 Hi, A harmonium, trumpet, gui tar, tuba, flute, piccolo and 11 kinds of percussion instru ments provide accompani ment for the ten musical num bers. The lyrics of the ballads are often in contradiction with the action on stage, as when the cart driver sings, "Don't Soil Your Pretty Shoes," as he drives a girl to the guillotine. The dialogue centers around a debate between the Mar quis and Marat on the value of human revolution. The historical characters take on the lunacy of the act ors male leechprs, mad priests, hysterical females who are doing the play for therapy. Sade, who wrote the play, forgets his lines and Charlotte Corday, who kills Murat in the bathtub, drifts on and off into her own world of melan cholia and slee, alking. Actors improvise All 33 characters are on the stage throughout the two-act play. The actors are free to improvise t ctv - and move whever they want to go. "The inmates give distorted comments on the characters and the ideas expressed in the play," Cole said. Jim Baffico, who plays the Marquis de Sade, played Kent in "King Lear' 'and starred in theater productions last year The part of Charlotte is double cast. Two girls, op posite in appearance and ex perience, play the role on al ternate nights. The actresses are Susan Vosik, who played Cordelia in "Lear" and Celi na in "Misanthrope," and Cheryl Hansen. John Jessup and Ron Mil ler alternate in the role of Jacques Roux, a mad priest who spends the entire play in a straight jacket. The established church is satarized in a procession showing how priests op pressed the poor people of France. After exploring all the pos sibilities and results of a rev olution, the conclusion at tempts to shed some light on eternal doubt. "TAKE up your bed and walk" is the title of this art work by Marx Hausen, professor at Contordia College, on display at the Student Lutheran Chapel. tniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiHiiuiniiiiiiiMii!iiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii The Other Half by Joan McCullough Campus Life Editor "Lemonade Joe," the Union film society selection for this Wednesday is a Czechoslovakian version of an Ameri can western.
