Title: Marat/Sade ; The investigation ; and The shadow of the body of the coachman
First published: 1998
Description: Peter Weiss (1916-1982) was virtually unknown in the mid-1960s when Peter Brook made Marat/Sade into a film. The weaving of time, space, plot, real-and-imagined characters, sexual liberation, and surrealist imagery made Marat/Sade a sensation. Little did audiences realize that this counterculture classic was written by a German Jew. At that time, Weiss was also at work on a play about Auschwitz: The Investigation. These two dramas are in this volume along with The Shadow of the Body of the Coachman.

All are cogently introduced and edited by Robert Cohen.
Subjects: Drama, Assassination, Continental european drama (dramatic works by one author)
