THE REVOLUTIONISTS
Season 87 - September 12-28, 2025
THE REVOLUTIONISTS
“Story is the heartbeat of humanity, and humanity gets really dark when the wrong stories are leading the people...”
Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793 in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.
This dream-tweaked play is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world.
