Simpson Theatre
Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists is a play that celebrates the strength and resilience of women during the French Revolution. The play follows four remarkable women - Olympe de Gouges, Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoinette, and Marianne Angelle - each with their distinct perspectives on the Revolution. As they navigate the dangerous and tumultuous landscape of 18th-century France, they explore themes of sisterhood, power, and the role of women in history.
Playwright Olympe de Gouges is a feminist ahead of her time, determined to make her voice heard and her ideas known. Charlotte Corday is a passionate assassin who believes violence is necessary for change. Marie Antoinette is a former queen struggling to come to terms with her own fall from power. Marianne Angelle is a black Caribbean spy who fights for freedom and equality for her people. Each character has a unique approach to the Revolution, and as they work together, they discover the true power of unity and solidarity.
Through humor and heart, The Revolutionists encourages audiences to reflect on women’s role in history and consider the importance of female voices in shaping the world. It inspires us to take action in our own lives and to stand up for what we believe in, just as these four women did during the French Revolution. This powerful and empowering play reminds us of the strength and resilience of women throughout history, and their ability to overcome even the greatest of challenges.
