Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists is a bold, fast-paced comedy that reimagines four remarkable women navigating the chaos of the French Revolution. With sharp wit and modern flair, the play brings together playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle as they confront questions of art, activism, and legacy. Exploring the intersection of gender, power, and social justice, Gunderson’s play asks whether art can truly change the world and serves as a tribute to the resilience of women who dare defy expectations. The Revolutionists is an inspiring piece of theatre that celebrates the spirit of revolution — and the women who spark it.
THE REVOLUTIONISTS is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
