This is what's known as "political theatre." It's one of the best examples of political theatre. But, being political theatre, it's filled with rhetorical dialogue that can be cut, stretched, shortened, or lengthened to any degree and there would be little difference in the overall effect. I suggest that you watch Marat/Sade on YouTube with the different sections out of order, skipping a section or two, and you'll get the idea. The same could never be said, for example, of KING LEAR.
I think Zoe Caldwell was playing Medea that year. Very few people can win against Medea. And Glenda was a new comer. The play and the movies were Glenda Jackson's breakthrough performance.
Jean Paul Marat (1743-93} Born Neuchatel France, travelled extensively in Britain. obtained a degree at St Andews, . A medical practitioner, and politician who supported Wilkes. A journalist "L Ami du Peuple" a searing denunciation of authority, calling for a dictatorship of the people. Sept 1792, member of "The Vigilance Commitee" responsible for Paris prisons. A revolutionary Jacobin anti Girondin, 13 July 1793 murdered in his bath, by Charlotte Corday 25yrs old royalist.

Glenda - playing a mental patient playing a political assassin - deserved an Oscar nomination at least. Thanks for posting these!

RSC: in terms of acting talent, their bench is better than our starting lineup.
