A scene from The Cenci (an adaptation of Percy Shelley’s drama, displaying a great deal of violence and gore), written by French dramatist Antonin Artaud (1896 - 1948) and staged his own play in 1935, with Artaud playing the lead role of Count Cenci, a nobleman in the sixteenth century. After seventeen performances, the production was closed and considered a failure.
