Admission: $8 - Tickets HERE

In the 1950s, the writings of the Marquis de Sade were a rallying point for free expression and artistic experimentation. Decades later, in an age of ubiquitous pornography and changing aesthetic tastes, does Sade's writing still hold any value for us? Colin Dickey will explore Sade's writings and the various critical reactions to them through the years, attempting to answer whether they're worth reading, and if so, how exactly to go about doing so.
