Overview

Marquise de Sade (Madame de Sade) is a riveting revival of Yukio Mishima’s 1965 historical fiction play, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the author’s birth with a fresh production that delves into the enigmatic devotion of Renée de Sade, wife of the infamous Marquis de Sade, amid themes of morality, desire, and societal upheaval.

Directed by Amon Miyamoto in his first Mishima staging in 25 years, this all-female drama—symbolizing human facets like wifely loyalty (Renée), law and morality (Madame de Montreuil), and carnal desires (Madame de Saint-Fond)—unfolds through elegant dialogue and period intrigue, never showing the Marquis himself. Held on February 17–18, 2026 (Tue–Wed), at Fukuoka Civic Hall Medium Hall in Fukuoka Prefecture, performances start at 18:00 (Tue, doors TBD) and 13:00 (Wed, doors TBD), featuring a stellar cast led by Hiroki Narimiya as the Marquis (in voice/absence), Masaya Kato, Masahiro Higashide, Ryosuke Miura, Sasuke Otsuru, and Yasuyuki Shuto. Praised for its “subtle contrasts and profound allegory” in past revivals, this production reignites Mishima’s riddle of Renée’s post-Revolution departure.

Tickets are ¥11,000 (all seats reserved), with U-25 options and Pia Card pre-sale lottery until October 15, 2025, 18:00 JST, and general sale from October 25, 2025, 10:00 JST. The ~800-seat medium hall, near Fukuoka’s vibrant Hakata district, offers an immersive experience. Preschool children not permitted; wheelchair users contact promoter post-purchase. Secure via Ticket Pia due to high demand for this centennial milestone.
