The Revolutionists

CCBC Essex Academic Theatre presents: The Revolutionists

By Lauren Gunderson | Directed by Tara Cariaso

In this irreverent and whimsical historical comedy, four badass women fight back against the political hysteria of 1793 Paris. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, and deposed queen Marie Antoinette each face the chopping block and their own thoughts on their legacy. Existing in a world somewhere between dream and reality, terror and power, this play explores the power of art, sisterhood, and bravery with wit and humor (and ribbons).

Content Warning:This production includes depictions and descriptions political violence, murder, misogyny, and racism.
