Artaud at Rodez (Paperback, New edition)

Antonin Artaud is probably the single greatest force on the contemporary stage. In this harrowing play, Charles Marowitz draws on exclusive material obtained from friends and confidantes, depicting a series of imaginary scenes based upon the true incidents of Artaud's life and his incarceration as a madman in the asylum at Rodez. Using Artaud's own Theatre of Cruelty techniques Marowitz tells what is perhaps the cruelest story of all: the way in which society methodically destroys the maverick artist who attempts to defy it. Also included in this edition are exclusive interviews with leading avant-garde figures such as Roger Blin and Arthur Adamov as well as first-hand testimony from Artaud's own psychiatrist, Dr Gaston Ferdiere and Artaud's sister, Marie-Ange Malaussena.
