Review: THE REVOLUTIONISTS at Nebraska Wesleyan University Theatre: Not as simple as it appears
by Christine Swerczek - September 20, 2024
Nebraska Wesleyan University Theatre has a history of mounting an impressive variety of plays and musicals. Currently, Lauren Gunderson’s revolutionary play about four women during the 1793 Reign of Terror in Paris, is a compelling production running in the Enid Miller Lab Theatre. Some would call this a comedy. Some would see it as a drama. I see it as a piece that transcends definition and looks at revolution through female eyes.
