Book description
Based on the Marquis de Sade's infamous novel of the same name, this
new dramatic version of JUSTINE closely follows the original story, both
in spirit and in action. De Sade, with his relentless logic, attempts to
prove that "virtue" as practiced by most people actually
contradicts nature. The innocent maiden Justine suffers one humiliation
and setback after another in her futile quest to preserve her virtue and
her virginity. No one--not the nobility, not the Church, not even her
sister--will step forward to help her unceasing cries for help. Finally,
even the Almighty Himself turns against her, fed up with her incessant
whining.
