Marat/Sade/Fun Facts
From The Grindhouse Cinema Database
- Much of the cast of the original theatrical production recreated their roles here.
- The actual Charenton Asylum still exists, though renamed the Esquirol Hospital and is permanently closed.
- The Marquis de Sade did in fact stage plays at the Asylum.
- The October 30, 2005 edition of the comic strip Frank and Ernest started with Frank saying that the printing press was down and they would have to do all the posters for the Bijoux's double bill by hand. Frank, of course, assigned himself the poster for M, and assigned Ernest the poster for Marat/Sade, with the full title written out.
