About This Show

In Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists, we find ourselves in 1793 Paris during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror − the time when a death sentence and the guillotine became the norm. One unbendingly gutsy woman … Olympe de Gouges [Jen Allegra], author and activist, struggles to write a play about that rebellion … advised, prodded, and spurred on by three brassy, impatient, and insistent women eager to make history: Haitian rebel, Marianne Angelle [Sharese Salters]; obsessive Charlotte Corday [Rachel Dilliplane] (a would-be assassin), and Marie-Antoinette [Kathryn Wylde] (the ex-Queen). This historical fantasy is a passionate, irreverent, and often hilarious anthem for a quartet of female voices, who strive to quench the fanatical insanity of the male-run horror show that is engulfing them. As ‘Marie-A.’ wistfully puts it: “Sometimes a revolution needs a woman’s touch.”
