The Revolutionists at Brookfield Theatre

The Revolutionists
by Lauren Gunderson
directed by Jared Reynolds
April 21 - May 6, 2023
free senior preview Thurs., April 20 at 8PM

Four women (or is it five?) live boldly in this comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Author Olympe de Gouges, Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, assassin Charlotte Corday, and former queen Marie Antoinette hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the insanity of 1793 Paris. What was a hopeful revolution for the people is now sinking into hyper-violent hypocritical male rhetoric. However will modern audiences relate?

There will be a free preview for area senior citizens on Thursday, April 20 at 8pm
Tickets are $25 general admission / $20 students & seniors
