The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson (R-ACT)

Four badass women lose their heads in this irreverent comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges (Rhonny Dam), assassin Charlotte Corday (Sarah Baker), former queen Marie Antoinette (Jenn Rian), and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle (Myriah Cross) try to beat back extremist insanity in this dream-tweaked comedy about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection that ends in a song and a scaffold.
