[NEohioPAL] THE REVOLUTIONISTS - August 22nd - Virtual Production

[Richard Zenk]

On SATURDAY AUGUST 22, see one of the best shows written by Lauren
Gunderson: THE REVOLUTIONISTS. Four badass women lose their heads in this
irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of
Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former
queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder
Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This
grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and
activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how
we actually go about changing the world.
