The H street playhouse is convincingly transformed into a mental institution, where audience members get to watch a play written/directed by the Marquis de Sade & performed by the mental patients. I was enthralled by the world I entered, entertained by the patients' afflictions & acting abilities. The musical numbers added liveliness and intensity. Some of the Marquis de Sade's philosphizing seemed repetitive, but overall the piece provided an enlightening peek into post-revolutionary France & insight into war in present times. With some particularly entertaining individual performances, this show was a strong ensemble piece and overall fulfilling theater experience. MARAT/SADE is a great night of theatre.

Come on, people, how has no one commented on this one? It's one of the fringe's most bizarre and charming offerings. It celebrates a true fringe culture (that of burly gay men who liken themselves to forest creatures) and it's even local (set in Rehoboth Beach, I believe, which is apparantly also known as Woof Trap). If you haven't enjoyed watching some big old bears sing about getting "bear snacks" in the dunes of Rehoboth, you haven't lived. Also there is a fabulous, utterly flaming man who spins around and chants incantations in a vaguely shakespearean manner which compounds this drama in a bizarre way. You have to see it to believe it. diamond dead was awesome fun! go see this show–it’s like rocky horror but more METAL! i heard that people were standing to see it.

I was unfamiliar with this Greek classic, but it drew me in right from the start. The black metal rock music and edgy costumes were just part of a cool and surprising interpretation of the play. I loved the intimidating Dionysus, and Cadmus with his air guitar! I don't want to give too much away -- go see The Bacchae and be prepared for a wild ride! THE BACCHAE — Great show!
