Tip Top Theatre Collective presents The Painted Revolutionary, a political satire in which the abstractions at the heart of every political argument are reimagined as people. Centred around Struggle and her battle to bring about change, the comedy-drama unpicks centuries of political history through witty and grounded dialogue. The play follows Struggle as she navigates a world caught between Order's insistence that things remain as they are and Revolution's certainty that they don't have to, with characters including Justice, Faith, Class, Love, Passion, and Hate adding further complications. Drawing on thinkers from Rousseau and Voltaire to Marx and Hobbes, the work asks what powerful political ideas truly mean and who gets to decide their definition.
