Dame Judi Dench plays the lead in this ravishing version of Mishima's play about the Marquis De Sade, told through the eyes of six remarkable women. The play, translated from the Japanese by Donald Keene, is a romantic epic and a portrait of France riven by corruption and teetering on the brink of the Revolution, where the crimes of monarchy and officialdom dwarf the transgressions of one risqué author.
This is the third installment of 'Donmar West End', the ambitious project led by Michael Grandage which aims to bring 'serious' theatre to the West End, drawing audiences with stars from the acting firmament. While Dench will attract thousands of fans who might not normally risk this kind of highbrow theatre, many aficionados will be more interested in seeing Mishima's lyrical vision realised on a London stage for the first time.
