Sierra Stages to Present THE REVOLUTIONISTS Next Month
The Revolutionists runs one night only on Wednesday, September 13 at Miners Foundry in downtown Nevada City, CA.
Sierra Stages will present The Revolutionists, a blistering comedy that follows four famous women as they navigate the perils and politics of The French Revolution. Presented as the next installation of Theater by the Book, The Revolutionists runs one night only on Wednesday, September 13 7pm at Miners Foundry in downtown Nevada City, CA.
Minds—and heads!—are lost when Marie Antoinette, the assassin Charlotte Corday, playwright Olympe de Gouges, and freedom fighter Marianne Angelle struggle to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. Written by the award-winning playwright Lauren Gunderson, the whip-smart script walks the guillotine's blade edge between laughter and terror, exploring themes of gender, power, and what it means to be an artist during a time of revolution.
“The show is a hilarious, yet thoughtful, consideration of timeless issues facing women today,” said director Kendall Tieck. “The characters encompass a broad range of personalities, convictions, passions, and dreams—all coming together in a creative, contemporary reimagining of the events and historical figures of the French Revolution.”
The performance will begin at 7pm (bar opens at 6pm, doors at 6:30pm).
