The Cenci

by Antonin Artaud

Translation by Richard Sieburth

Adapted and Directed by John Jahnke

Residency: The Watermill Center, May, 2007

The Ohio Theatre, New York City

Artaud's infamous version of the Roman scandal of 1599 takes on a wicked life of its own in his lurid account of a wealthy family felled by incest, murder, and Papal oppression. This rarely staged Theatre of Cruelty work is being presented in its first American translation created specifically for The Hotel Savant by Richard Sieburth.
