The Revolutionists will be performed in J Studio
The Revolutionists is a comedic play about four real women during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror: playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, who meet in a Parisian prison cell. The play blends historical fact with fiction, using modern language and humor to explore themes of feminism, activism, violence, and legacy, all while leading to the guillotine. It’s described as a “comedy, a quartet, a revolutionary dream fugue, a true story” that questions if art can change the world.
