2. Not My Revolution

Written and performed by Elizabeth Huffman
Directed by Louanne Moldovan 
A dreamlike play told through film, movement and live theatre.
The story follows two women whose lives have been forever altered by a tumultuous civil war. Not My Revolution travels back & forth in time between Marie Antoinette’s imprisonment during the French Revolution in 1793 and a ghetto in Istanbul in 2011 where a once-wealthy Syrian art dealer is struggling to survive catastrophic losses due to the civil war in her country.​

The 90-minute play examines the very real consequences of forced displacement, and the judgments passed on two women whose destiny has been determined by appearances and society’s expectations of them.

“Ms. Huffman communicates the terror of a victim caught up in events beyond her control with complete conviction and verisimilitude.”

“Not My Revolution is an ambitious, brilliantly acted one-woman tour de force.” Broadway World
