The Revolutionists

HEADS WILL ROLL! Rooftop Theatre Collaborative makes their New York City debut with The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson, by special arrangement from Dramatist Play Service. November 15 - 17 at Target Margin Theater At the peak of the French Revolution, writer Olympe de Gouges brings together three other female revolutionaries, Haitian spy Marianne Angelle, French assassin Charlotte Corday, and Queen Marie Antoinette, to explore a woman’s place in revolution and if the pen is truly mightier than the sword. With a threat of the guillotine looming above their heads, the stakes are high to determine what power women wield during times of strife and revolution, a parallel to 2024 that does not go unacknowledged. The cast features Nancy Umba as Marianne Angelle, Blake Shutterly as Charlotte Corday, Jaci D'Ulisse as Olympe de Gouges, and Emily Gustafson as Marie Antoinette. The production is co-directed by Christina Shea-Wright and RTC founder Jaci D'Ulisse. Stage management by Abby Fry
