MADAME DE SADE

by Yukio Mishima

13 March – 23 May 2009

Against her mother’s wishes, Renée remains vehemently devoted to her husband, the Marquis de Sade, the notorious aristocrat imprisoned in the Bastille for his lurid escapades and licentious behaviour.

Set in Paris, as it hurtles towards a violent revolution, Mishima’s poetic masterpiece brings to life the fascinating story of the Marquis de Sade told through the eyes of six remarkable women.

Judi Dench and Rosamund Pike will be joined by Frances Barber, Fiona Button, Deborah Findlay and Jenny Galloway to complete the company of Madame de Sade – the third production in the Donmar’s year long residency at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
