Quills

“Are your convictions so fragile that mine cannot stand in opposition to them? Is your God so illusory that the Presence of my Devil reveals His insufficiency?” - The Marquis

In October of 2019, Wolf’s Head howled back to the Ore Dock Brewing Company to take a bite out of the delectable, seductive horror cartoon of Quills by Doug Wright. Sinfully sensational and eccentrically perverse, our tale immerses you into the middle of Charenton Insane Asylum circa 19th Century France- your bunk-mate? The infamous writer, the Marquis de Sade, imprisoned for the rest of his life for “unmentionable activities”. The triangular battle of wills between the Marquis and two men of differing treatment plans/opinions will leave you disturbed, sidesplitted, exhilarated and questioning.
