The Revolutionists is a wildly theatrical comedy about four unforgettable women navigating the chaos of the French Revolution during the Reign of Terror.

Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian revolutionary Marianne Angelle debate justice, challenge extremism, murder Marat, and try not to lose their heads in the Paris of 1793.

A comedy
A quartet
A revolutionary dream fugue
A true story(ish)

These are rich, complex, electric roles for powerful women — full of wit, rage, vulnerability, courage, and joy. Whether you love sharp comedy, or stories about women refusing to stay silent, this play delivers.

Come play. Come rage. Come revolt.
