The Revolutionists

Playwright Lauren Gunderson gives France’s Reign of Terror a riotous, sharp-tongued makeover in this fast-paced comedy that finds humor even in the darkest of times. Four badass women—a playwright, an assassin, a spy and a queen—lose their heads (figuratively and literally) in this dream-tweaked version of the French Revolution. International City Theatre at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, 330 E. Seaside Way, Long Beach, CA 90802; (562) 436-4610; InternationalCityTheatre.org. Schedule: June 11 – June 28 Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m.
