...aforementioned dog-marquis, who is imprisoned in the Bastille. Just prior to the 1789 revolution, a conspiracy is launched to liberate a jailed bourgeois leader. The marquis is asked to aid his fellow prisoner's escape by "distracting" their lascivious jailer. This prompts one of several debates with Colin (the penis) over who's really in control of the marquis' body. The marquis must accept the consequences each time he uses his companion Colin. His imprisonment and the political furor raging around him prompts a realization of the links between greed and art, opression and decadence, lust and autonomy...

Jason Robards has long fanned the flame on Broadway, / and London has seen many winning revivals: the Glenda Jackson Strange Interlude, Desire Under the Elms with Colin Firth and Carmen Du Sautoy, A Touch of the Poet with Timothy Dalton and Vanessa Redgrave. Actors love digging to the core of a role, no matter how long it takes; and O'Neill's plays, which idle in dour exposition before revving into revelation, let them reproduce that effort...
